Girl assuages her grief with sex
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of nine
months, “Brent,” was killed in a car
accident. I have been a mess ever
since. I dropped out of school and
have no job. I do not live with my
parents, and I no longer have the
love of my life.
One of Brent’s best friends,
“Doug,” and I recently spent two
intimate nights together. It was spe
cial and felt right.
Doug has had a girlfriend for
almost two years. They are expecting a baby
any day now. He has told me he wants to
break up with her and move away with me
because he feels he should look after me.
Another of Brent’s good friends, “Brian,”
is a player. Brian doesn’t respect women,
but since he and I became close after the
accident, he respects and watches out for
me, too. One thing led to another with
Brian, too, and we have done the deed many
times.
I have feelings for both Doug and Brian,
even though they don’t come close to what I
felt for Brent. Am I a horrible person for
sleeping with Brent’s two best friends after
his death? I need advice on how to get out
of this mess.
GRIEVING WITH SEX
DEAR GRIEVING: Do not mistake what
has happened with Brent’s friends for love.
It’s time you talk to your spiritual adviser,
join a grief support group and seek individ
ual counseling. If possible, return to your
parents for a while until you get your life
back in order. It is important that you com
plete your education so you can become
financially as well as emotionally independ
ent.
P.S. Neither one of the young men you

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(February 6). It seems you
can turn any situation to your
advantage. Your charm is
irresistible this year.
Investments this month are
terrific for your long-term
stability. Travel and pleasure
in May are just what you
deserve. Singles have a whirl
wind romance in June.
Friendships go through a
change for the better. Aries
and Gemini are superstars in
your life. Your lucky numbers
are: 43, 25, 38, 50 and 2.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) You have high standards
for your life, especially in the
adventure/travel/fun area.
Putting plans on hold until
you have someone significant
to do them with is a mistake.
Getting out solo will open up
a world of possibilities.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) The bigger the challenge,
the better. Once you decide to
enjoy the exploration of what
it is that makes you feel
happy, curious and exhilarat
ed, that’s when new people
and sources of income start to
appear in your life.

out because “Gram” doesn’t give me rules
or chores.
I moved in with Gram because she does
n’t see, hear, drive or even move well any
more. I drive her wherever she needs to go.
My parents refuse to believe that I moved
out to help Gram. It has reached the point
that my parents no longer speak to her
and I no longer speak to my parents.
It was not my goal to make waves in the
family. What can I do to fix the problems
I’ve caused? And how can I get everyone on
speaking terms again? Please help.
BIG PROBLEM IN A LITTLE TOWN
DEAR BIG PROBLEM: You appear to be
the daughter of very controlling parents. At
18, you are old enough to decide where you
want to live, and the arrangement you have
made appears to be mutually beneficial.
Being a companion to an elderly person
in failing health is a heavy responsibility
and certainly isn’t chore-free. (Could it be
that your parents miss your free labor at
their house?)
It is not your responsibility to “get
everyone on speaking terms again.” From
my perspective, you not only deserve a pat
on the back but also a thank-you for taking
care of your grandmother.
Under the stars ’ gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June
21) The domestic front is in
for wonderful changes. Day
to-day chores don't have to
be a drag. When you are ful
filled in yourself, you have
more to give. Fulfill your
own needs intellectually,
financially and socially.
CANCER (June 22-July
22) Guard against a “lack”
mentality. You needn’t worry.
It might feel like the water in
the well is running dry, but
remember that the “well” is
only a reservoir, not the
source. Children or immature
friends might surprise you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You’ll strike the perfect bal
ance between work, love,
individuality and family.
This starts when you give
yourself permission to devel
op your individuality. A
young person looks up to
you. Take the responsibility
seriously.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
On this hectic day, you may
feel you are spread quite
thin. Working doesn’t mean
you can’t be involved in your
children’s lives. Couples:
Making demands shows you
respect your partner. Assert
yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Conflict is scary, not just for
you but for many OK, it’s
scarier for you. It’s a beauti
ful thing about your sign that
you never want to hurt any
one’s feelings. But in every
relationship, a little con
frontation must fall.
ship, so I urge you not to depend
on either of them for anything.
Both have taken advantage of
your vulnerability.
DEAR ABBY: I turned 18 last
year. When I started college, I
moved in with my grandma on
my father’s side. My parents
were furious. They said I moved
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Salvage good ideas from
a project that has failed. You
have away of handling busi
ness like nobody else can and
should keep your trade secrets
close to the vest. There are
snakes in the grass. Go for
romance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). It’s so much easier
to work on your massive
to-do list when passionate
feelings are at stake as they
are now. You offer all you can
to work efforts, but a certain
lazy someone won’t be satis
fied until you’re doing it all.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) Watch for perfect oppor
tunities to work on your rela
tionship with yourself. When
you genuinely like yourself,
you become more attractive to
other people. Being a friend
isn’t just something you do.
It’s a skill you learn.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). A slight altercation could
get your adrenaline pumping,
so take a short cool-down
period to avoid acting in
anger. But don’t wait too long
or let a disagreement ride
until tomorrow. Your emo
tional courage is high.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20) Your enthusiasm is so
attractive now that you’ll find
many who want to be your
friend. Continue to focus on
being interested in others,
rather than being interesting
yourself. Work tip: Good lis
teners are hard to find. Be
one!
