Disintegrating family seeks advice on secrets and trust
A 28 year old writes about a recovering mother who has started drinking again and cheating, a sister in rehab, and a child with disabilities. The writer asks whether to tell the father while Abby advises the writer to set a boundary and urge the mother to come clean, as silence would enable wrongdoing. A second letter from a 20 year old asks about online romance with a man in Australia and how to handle protective parents. Abby suggests the suitor visit and proves sincerity to ease concerns.
