Grown child keeps meetings
with ex-stepfather a secret
DEAR ABBY: When I
was in my first year of col
lege, my mother divorced
my stepdad. “Charlie” was
part of my life for 12
years, but since their
divorce, she insists I have
no contact with him.
Charlie visits the state
where I now live several
times a year to see a friend
and invites me to have din
ner with him. I do, but
because of Mom’s
demand, I ask him to keep
our time together a secret.
If she knew we were in
contact, I think she would
cut me out of her life.
Growing up, Charlie
was a father figure to me
— a very important person
in my life. Spending time
with him is awkward, but
it would feel wrong to
never see him again. We
were family for many
years. I feel that as an
adult, I should be able to
decide for myself who I
stay in contact with. I
don’t know the whole
story about their breakup,
and honestly, I don’t care
to know. Should I honor
my mother’s wishes and
have no more contact with
him, or go with my gut
and keep him in my life?
— FORGIVE OR
FORGET OUT WEST
DEAR FORGIVE: Go
with your gut. As an adult,
you do have the right to
choose with whom you
associate, and your mother
should not be insisting
upon it with no explana
tion.

DEAR ABBY: I have an
etiquette question I can’t
find an answer to on the
internet. My family travels
a great deal, and there are
always unattended wheel
chairs parked around the
airport. My teenage broth
er thinks it’s perfectly fine
to get in them and start
playing with them,
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
because “no one’s using
them.” The rest of my fam
ily thinks it’s rude to use a
wheelchair as a toy. How
do you view this and how
should my parents explain
it to him? Thanks. —
CLAIRE IN FLORIDA
DEAR CLAIRE:
Assistive devices are not
toys, and they should not
be “played with” by those
who don’t need to use
them. That’s how I view it.
Have your parents actually
TOLD your brother “No?”
If they have and he does it
anyway, it’s time for them
to act like parents, make
clear that there are conse
quences for disobedience
and follow through.

DEAR ABBY: My son
recently graduated with a
master’s degree. He’s a
fine young man, did
extremely well all through
his schooling and has
never given his father or
me a second of worry. He
has not been able to find a
job. It’s frustrating for him
and discouraging, but we
know he will, and we
encourage him any way
we can.
My question is how do I
deal with the barrage of
inquiries from neighbors,
hairstylist, co-workers and
friends who constantly ask
if he has found a job yet? I
am sick of it! It’s none of
their business, and I never
ask them anything about
their families’ employ
ment. Please help. —
MISSOURI MOM
DEAR MOM: Handle it
this way. Say, “When he
does, I’ll let you know.”
Then change the subject.
