Navigating the Delicate Topic of Body Size Criticism.

A reader asks for advice on how to tell their overweight neighbors and a family member's friend that they are too fat, but the columnist instead challenges their outdated notions about body size and health. Another reader seeks advice on how to talk to their husband about his aggressive driving, and the columnist suggests focusing on concrete behaviors that make it stressful to ride with him. A third reader asks for advice on setting boundaries with their abusive and mentally-ill younger brother and enabling mother, and the columnist recommends distancing oneself from the toxic family situation for the sake of one's own well-being.
