Joyful family reunion turns out to bring only pain
DEAR ABBY: When I was 4, my two older used as pawns. And if necessary, block
mother and her live-in boyfriend by
Social Services. All three of us had
been victims of molestation. We had
also been exposed to illicit drugs. If
that wasn’t enough, I later learned
that our grandfather was also our
father. I spent half my childhood in
three different foster homes until,
finally, at the age of 8,1 was adopt¬
ed a
Eleven years went by, and I never heard
from any of them. Then one day, my father
received a call from one of my sisters. The
two of them had been looking for me. He
told them where I could be found. At first, I
was overjoyed to hear from them. Of course,
I made contact with my birth mother after
that.
We have now been communicating for 10
years, and it has been nothing but pure hell.
Every time we speak, I’m reminded of the
horrible events that occurred when we were
younger. So much so, that it has affected my
sex life with my husband.
I don’t want to subject my family to this
anymore. How can I tell them I want to
cease all contact with them without causing
a huge uproar? Please help me.
— MISERABLE IN THE MIDWEST
DEAR MISERABLE: I’m surprised you
waited this long to ask that question. Your
reasons for waiting to be left alone seem rea¬
sonable to me. Inform your siblings and your
unfit birth mother that contact with them is
so painful for you that it has affected your
marriage, and you must stop it. Do not apol¬
ogize for your feelings or allow yourself to
be made to feel guilty. Explain this to your
adoptive parents as well so they can’t be

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(November 23). You get what
you ask for this year! The
next five weeks bring happy
events — the stepping stones
to a financial payoff in
January. Couples recommit in
December. Singles are sur¬
rounded by admirers.
Choosing one standout sweet¬
ie is easiest in March. Spring
travel leads to new business.
Love with Gemini and Cancer
is golden. Your lucky num¬
bers are: 2, 14,9,30 and 7.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Watch out for the modem
version of the snake oil sales¬
man. Society is filled with
remedies that are devoid of
scientific merit. That doesn’t
mean they don’t work — and
it doesn’t mean that they do,
either.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). A relationship that has
remained relatively inert for
years now morphs into one of
your life’s moving forces. So
change IS real! When others
show new initiative, you’re
inclined to do the same.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’re not only a winner now,

riage, please don’t wait any longer to do this.
DEAR ABBY: While sitting with my hus¬
band in the hospital following his surgery, a
nurse entered his room. We all chatted while
she took his pulse, etc., when without
warning she removed his covers to check
the surgery site and totally exposed his geni¬
tals.
I was shocked and embarrassed, and have
trouble ridding myself of the image of my
naked husband lying there in front of anoth¬
er woman. I wish the nurse had given me the
chance to leave the room.
Is there something wrong with me for
having so much trouble with this? What can
I do to avoid this in the future?
— RED-FACED
IN EUGENE, ORE.
DEAR RED-FACED: On a scale of 10, I’d
say you are probably an 8 on the “uptight”
scale. You seem to have forgotten that the
woman in the room with you was not a lap
dancer, but a health-care professional per¬
forming her duties. Your husband was her
patient, and in her eyes, was probably as
sexless as a CPR dummy. To avoid embar¬
rassment in the future, leave the room when
the nurse enters.
Horoscopes by Holiday
but you’re absolutely impervi¬
ous to losers! Negative people
exert their poisonous attitude,
and yet, you stand strong.
Administer a pat on your own
back.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). You know how a busi¬
ness should be run while oth¬
ers don’t. From your point of
view, colleagues seem at
worst ridiculous and at best
ineffective. Don’t just criti¬
cize! Be the leader.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Complications arise, but that
doesn’t mean that something
is broken. You’re tempted to
upgrade to the latest and
greatest, but the timing isn’t
right. Don’t do anything rash.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
If ever there were a day to
forget about what is largely
out of your control (global
warming, flu pandemic, toxic
slush), it is today. The world
gets dirtier, and the average
human life is longer than ever.
So give guilt and anxiety a
rest.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You’re now realizing you may
have “jumped ship” on a proj¬
ect too soon. It’s not too late
to get back on board to bail
out some of the water. All it
takes is an hour of dedication
to get things afloat again.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Spontaneity, creativity
and insight are your most use¬
ful tools today — you can use
them to attract new love and
friendship. You’re a giver, and
all you give multiplies.
Because it appears you did
not get counseling as a result of
the sexual abuse you suffered as
a child, and it has adversely
affected your relationship with
your husband, I urge you to do it
now. Your physician can refer
you to a trained psychotherapist
who can help you deal with your
For the sake of mar¬
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22
Dec. 21). Do what’s right.
Don’t hesitate, and don’t fum¬
ble. You may think you don’t
know what’s right, but that’s
just a procrastination tactic.
Call yourself out. Be stringent
when it comes to your rules ’
for yourself.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You’re a hit wherever
you go. Remember that you
are in control, and drop any¬
one who makes you feel oth¬
erwise. A previously slow
moving project begins to gain
momentum.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). The planets set your
stage with temptations and
triggers. Your knee-jerk reac¬
tions may be impressive —
your reflexes are quite amaz¬
ing. Unfortunately, action -
without thought brings folly.
Reserve the right to contem¬
plate.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Cutting expenses brings
you back into balance and
doesn’t affect your life too
much either. Now you can
give money where it can do
enormous good. Tonight,
you’re all aflutter over some¬
thing potentially romantic.
