Womans old sweetheart still
cant win her dads approval
DEAR ABBY: I’m dat
ing my grammar school and
high school sweetheart,
"Gary.” We’ve known each
other since I was 6. (I’m 33
now.) In high school we
dated for nine months and
were in love, but he told lies
to my dad, so Dad ordered
him to stay away. Now, 16
years later, after being only
friends all this time, we
finally both became single
and got back together.
Gary is and always has
been the love of my life, as I
am his. He would do any
thing for me. He says he
wants to marry me and have
kids, and he’s never said
that to any other woman.
Since we broke up at 16,
Gary has done some bad
things (drugs, prison).
Because of if my dad hates
him. Dad was finally getting
used to Gary being back in
my life until a few months
ago, when Gary crashed my
car after relapsing. Gary is
getting me a new car and
trying to get my dad to like
him, but Dad is stubborn. I
know he’s just worried
about me.
I want to bring Gary to
my parents’ to visit because
enough time has gone by
since the accident. Is there
any way to get my dad used
to him? — TORN IN NEW
JERSEY
DEAR TORN: I think the
chances of your father "get
ting used” to his beloved
daughter being married to a
convicted felon and drug
user who can’t quite kick
the habit are somewhere
between a snowflake and
hell. Gary may have been
the love of your life since
childhood, but if you plan to
marry him, it’s important
you get a glimpse of what
you may be in for.
There are self-help
groups for the friends and
family of addicts. Join one
of them. (Visit Nar-Anon.
org to find the nearest meet
ing.) If you do, you will
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
meet other individuals who
are involved with people
who have a drug addiction
and leam about the chal
lenges that will face both of
you.

DEAR ABBY: A long
time friend of mine,
“Jenny,” and I reunited after
years of not speaking. Our
pregnancies brought us
back together, and since the
births of our children we
have had playdates, shared
baby stories, advice, etc.
My problem is, Jenny
tries to pass down stained,
out-of-season clothes from
her child to mine. (She gets
free handouts from organi
zations that help moms and
families who aren’t finan
cially well off.) She and her
child's father drive brand-
new cars with hefty car pay
ments, and they are paying
a big mortgage — all the
while collecting assistance.
It bothers me because,
while we straggle, my fami
ly doesn't use assistance.
We feel it should be used
only for those who really
need it. Am I silly for letting
something like this get to
me? I find myself making
excuses to cancel playdates
and avoid her. — MAKING
MY OWN WAY IN
VIRGINIA
DEAR MAKING: Your
problem isn’t the baby
clothes. It's that you disap
prove of Jenny's values.
While you have some
things in common, you also
have major differences.
Among them, your choice
to work for what you get
and her willingness to game
the system. That’s a big dif
ference, and you're not
being silly.
