THEY LOVED US!
When a plugger says he’s "going on

going across town with his church

Bathroom peeping Tom stuns
retirement home employee
DEAR ABBY:
Something happened at
work that has me trauma
tized. I work at a retirement
house for a convent. The
nuns are sweet, kind and
easy to get along with. But
last week while I was using
the bathroom, a nun decid
ed to be a Peeping Tom
while I was on the toilet.
She laughed at me in a
taunting manner saying, “I
can see you!” I screamed at
her to stop, but she just kept
looking and laughing at me.
When she finally left, I was
in shock.
I reported the nun to my
supervisor as soon as I
could, but later in the day I
was still so humiliated and
upset that I ended up having
an anxiety attack. I can’t
stop thinking about it. It left
me feeling disgusted with
the nun and with myself.
I want to report her to the
police, but I don’t want
drama at work. This is my
only source of income. I
need my job in order to pro
vide for my kids, but I no
longer feel comfortable
working in a place where
there are perverted nuns
who don’t respect people’s
privacy.
What do I do? I’m con
fused and angry, spending
my days in my home cry
ing and contemplating
whether to file a police
report. Please give me
some advice. —
TRAUMATIZED IN THE
EAST
DEAR
TRAUMATIZED: I hope
you realize that the behav
ior the retired nun exhibited
is that of a 4-year-old. She
may suffer from dementia.
While the woman may
have had good judgment in
her younger years, clearly
she does not now. It may be
the reason she is living in
that retirement community.
Em curious about how
your supervisor reacted
when you told her what
happened. If you cannot
DEARABBY
Jeanne Phillips
move beyond the trauma,
talk to the director of the
home and ask for counsel
ing so you can regain some
perspective. Filing a police
report may not be the way
to go.

DEAR ABBY: My wife
and I are getting ready to
retire. We are both
employed and will have
continued access to health
insurance through our
employers in retirement.
My insurance covers her
even if I predecease her,
unless she remarries.
My wife now says she
wants to carry her own
health insurance because
she feels she might want to
remarry sometime after my
death. Her new interest
about remarrying bothers
me, and I feel somewhat
guilty about that.
What has me depressed
is the question of who she
would want to be buried
beside — her new husband
or me. We have been mar
ried for 38 years, and the
possibility of having a final
resting place without her
seems very lonely and like
I am being rejected. It
almost feels like a divorce.
These are thoughts and
feelings I can neither shake
off nor rationalize. Your
thoughts? — LIFE GOES
ON
DEAR LIFE GOES ON:
Your wife is trying to keep
her options open, which,
although it isn’t sentimen
tal, makes sense. There are
no guarantees that if you
predecease her, she will be
swept off her feet, so you
may be worrying needless
ly. If you haven’t told her
how you feel, it might put
your mind at ease if you do.
