DEAR HARRIETTE: I feel awful about the way I treated my adopted sibling when I was younger. I am now an adult, but I was 5 years old when my mother adopted my foster sister. She was 11. I have memories of poking fun at her for being adopted and for looking different than I did.

Last week The Health Hut received 26,000 packs of Clorox wipes donated by relief organization Americares. Volunteers like Jim McCraken of Triad Builders, above left, and Louisiana Tech football players Noah White and Jacob Barnes, right, helped Health Hut staff like Mark Ganey, above right, unload the shipment and distribute the wipes to organizations that minister to under-served residents.

DEAR HARRIETTE: My parents are feuding and have been for quite some time. I usually duck out of the room when they start in on each other, but things have escalated of late. I am living at home this year because I haven’t found a job yet after graduating from college during the pandemic. I feel horrible that I am not yet independent and worse that I am stuck in the middle of a firestorm between my parents. I often just hide out in my room.
