Mom finds it hard to watch
son in stressful new marriage
DEAR ABBY: Our
youngest son recently mar
ried a woman who has an
18-year-old disabled daugh
ter, “Lauren." The girl’s
mental level is between that
of a 2- and 4-year-old.
There have been physical
confrontations between my
new daughter-in-law and
her disabled daughter,
which are becoming more
frequent now that they all
live together. Our daughter-
in-law refuses to pursue
facilities for Lauren, saying
she is waiting for her to be
transitioned into a group
home and feels much guilt
in doing so.
Lauren is currently in a
day program, which
doesn’t seem to be helping
her. She has definite
behavioral issues and has
been put on a higher level
of meds that haven’t
helped. Psychologists,
counselors and school staff
are noncommittal about
offering any help and
haven’t advised on how to
address this.
My concern is, my son
and his wife now have a
6-month-old son, and I
worry about the baby in this
home environment. Our son
loves his wife and thought
he could handle the chal
lenges that come with living
with Lauren. He now says
he thinks it is best to end the
marriage, but he’s uncom
fortable about giving an ulti
matum to his wife. He has a
high-pressure job, and his
new home environment is
taking a toll on him, physi
cally and mentally. Any
advice for him is appreciat
ed. — MOM ON THE
SIDELINES
DEAR MOM: I appreci
ate your concern for the
well-being of your son, but
if you are smart, you will
remain supportively on the
sidelines and not insert
yourself into this sensitive
situation. If your son feels
so pressured he’s consider
ing ending his marriage, he

should be telling his wife
about it and not his mother.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a
31-year-old waitress and
proud atheist. I’m one of
the least judgmental peo
ple I know. Who other
people love, or how they
choose to worship isn’t
important to me.
I have a regular customer
who comes in to the restau
rant about twice a month.
He’s a pastor and one of
the nicest guys I think I’ve
ever met. He’ll often bring
along people from his con
gregation and buy them
dinner. He counsels new
families and tries to teach
them the ways of the
world. He counsels angry
teenagers, and they listen to
him. I have tremendous
respect for him.
The problem is, every
time he comes in, he tries to
get me to come to his
church. It’s sometimes an
hourlong conversation. At
first I was polite about it and
just said no thank you.
Recently it reached the
point where I said firmly, “I
don’t need your church."
Abby, he still persists!
I don’t know what to do
anymore. I wouldn’t feel
right kicking him out of the
restaurant. Is there a middle
ground? — NON
BELIEVER IN GEORGIA
DEAR NON
BELIEVER: The pastor
may be an evangelical, who
feels that it is his duty to
“spread the word." The
middle ground, since he
seems unable to accept
your polite refusals, is to
have another waitress serve
him instead of you, if that’s
possible. If not, ask your
manager for guidance.
