[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stopped reading her when it became the "all MIL drama all the time" column. I get that it drives clicks but it's really boring to read the same grandmother/mil drama 2-3 times a week.

I was a Hax Super Fan in my 20s when she was still giving advice for 20-somethings. She was unlike any other advice columnist out there and it was amazing.

Now her column has gotten tiresome and there are much better columns out there, like Captain Awkward, at least when she feels like updating.[/quote]

Hax was in her 30s then.  Now she's well into her 50s (I think almost 60?) so her advice has matured too.

I also just think...stop reading her!  If she doesn't serve you anymore, move on.  I used to be a daily reader, and adored her chats.  I will occasionally click in now, and didn't even know she was still doing chats!  It's ok really.  She did help shape my thinking.  I tried to write to her a few times many moons ago, and in the process of attempting to write a letter she wouldn't pick apart, I could normally find MY part of the issue.  That was valuable, even if she didn't ever answer me directly.[/quote]

I mean...my first sentence was literally "I stopped reading her..." and I closed it out with an example of who I read instead but thanks for your insightful advice. It was very Hax of you.[/quote]
