My column is dedicated to telling it like it is. I will always give you the best information available to me or the best advice I can. I will be upfront and never hide the truth from you.

The one thing I will not do is you homework. I will try and point you towards the answer or help you find the answers you looking for. Ultimately you will have to find the answer yourself.

My ex and I broke up unexpectedly a few months ago (he dumped me). During our relationship, I had spent a lot of time with his family in a different state, visiting with him whenever he went home. I became very close with his family, especially his mom. When he dumped me, I realized, devastatingly, that I would never see his family again, and that I never got to say goodbye.

On a scale of 1 to psychopath, how crazy would it be to write his mom a short, sweet note just thanking her for welcoming me into their home, that I will treasure the memories, and that her family has a special place in my heart? Please consider from both her perspective and that of my ex, who would probably hear about it.

I think it would be a very nice thing to do.

You keep the letter between you and her after starting with words like. "John and I broke up so expectantly I did not have a chance to say good-by or for the warm welcome I received from you and your family."

From there you can go on to say what you enjoyed doing with her and what you will miss by not seeing or being with her. Keep it short and to the point. You can close with something like, "I hope the break up between me and John does not mean we can't still be friends.

This closing leaves the door open for her to respond if she wishes.
