DEAR ABBY: I'm one of three sisters. My mother passed away more than 10 years ago. My middle sister has my mom's wedding dress and says Mom gave it to her. My daughter is now engaged. I asked my sister to mail me the dress or, when I visit, I can carry it back myself so my daughter can try it on. We live in the U.S.; my sister lives in Canada. My daughter would not alter it in any way, she would just like to take a photograph in it and have a special moment with it. My sister has refused.

DEAR DRAMA: If you want to take the “high road,” omit any geographic reference to her refusal. Just say that you and your daughter are “very disappointed” by her reaction and, had the situation been reversed, you would have been “more generous.” We are spending the winter in another state and have invited them to come for a visit. Laura is already hinting around about wanting to invite her sister and husband. How do I politely handle this? -- CROWDED IN THE EAST
How can I move past this major disappointment where I’m grounded for life? I pray, and have given free psychic readings. I’d like to find love but I struggle with emotional regulation. Please help. -- ALL OVER THE PLACE
