WASHINGTON (AP) — In the midst of two active and potentially world-changing conflicts in the Middle East and Europe, the U.S. is hoping to find at least a small measure of common ground with China as China's top diplomat visits Washington this week.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I'm a 50-year-old woman who recently divorced her husband. We had been married for 20 years and mutually decided to end the relationship because we didn't feel any genuine love between us anymore. I now find myself co-parenting our three teenage daughters with my ex. I'm feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities and changes in my life. Balancing work, parenting and self-care has become a daunting challenge. I also find myself feeling lonely when my children are away at their dad's house, and I'm wondering if I made the right choice. Can you provide some advice on how to navigate this new chapter to ensure a healthy and happy environment — not only for my daughters, but for me as well? — What's Next?
