Teen discovers moms affair
while looking at her phone
DEAR ABBY: I am 15
and have a big problem.
My mom and my dad have
been married a long time. I
was looking through pic
tures on Mom’s phone and
found some very inappro
priate and romantic texts
from “Rob,” her business
partner. Mom forces our
whole family to hang out
with Rob, and my brother
doesn’t like him either. But
anytime we bring it up, my
mom yells at us and makes
me cry. She wants me to be
friends with Rob.
One time when we were
all at a restaurant, someone
asked if he was my dad. I
know what she is doing
with him, and I can’t focus
on school because of it. I
think my dad knows —
kind of — but I’m sure he
hasn’t seen the texts that I
saw. I don’t want to ruin my
family, but I cry about it
every night alone. I know
my parents won’t go to
couples counseling, and I
don’t want to hurt my
brother either. Any help
would be very much appre-
ciated. — KID WHO
KNOWS THE TRUTH
DEAR KID: Because
this is causing emotional
problems that are affecting
your studies, it can’t be
ignored. It is time for you to
talk about this with a school
counselor, a relative or a
family friend for emotional
support and guidance.
I also think at some point
you should talk to your
mother about what you
found on her phone. Tell
her that’s the reason you
don’t want to be friends
with her business partner.
Your sense of right and
wrong is valid, and don’t let
her tell you otherwise. Do
not be surprised if she’s
upset about the fact that you
know what has been going
on, so be prepared for it. I
am sorry you have to go
through this. It’s a shame.
DEAR ABBY: A few
years ago, my husband and
I bought and moved into a
very old, small house in our
ideal neighborhood, which
has beautifully manicured

yards, nice people and a lot
of diversity. We had a
vision for this place, and it
was perfect for us.
A friend of mine,
“Maggie,” who I knew had
a judgmental streak, repeat
edly asked to come see the
house, which I knew was
nowhere near in the condi
tion for visitors. After about
her 10th request, I told
myself maybe I was overre
acting to her potential reac
tion, and I invited her into
my home for a tour. Three
years later, my husband and
I remodeled our home to fit
our vision. We are happy.
Six months after the
remodel was complete, my
husband and I were at a
friend’s house and Maggie
was there. At one point,
Maggie’s husband com
mented to us that he
couldn’t believe we had
moved into that “s—
shack.” My husband’s jaw
dropped. Maggie jumped
up and said, “I didn’t call it
that!” Of course it was logi
cal that she did. She had
seen it; he had not.
To this day, a year and a
half later, I cannot get over
why someone I invited into
my home would say some
thing so horrible about it
behind my back or that her
husband would repeat it
among a group of mutual
friends. My husband refus
es to engage with Maggie
and her husband. What
should I do? — PROUD
OF MY HOME NOW
DEAR PROUD: I am
sorry you didn’t write soon
er about this. If you had, I
would have advised you to
tell Maggie exactly how
that incident made you and
your husband feel. It is a lit
tle late for that now, but you
would certainly be within
your rights to clear the air if
you wish. What they said
was uncalled for.
