Widow's Parents Cause Problem By Abigail Van Buren
Abigails column details a widow burdened by caring for senile father and bedridden diabetic mother. She seeks two weeks away to visit her daughter in California, with pay for respite. Abby suggests contacting county welfare or asking sister for help. The second reader asks about a married student with a Japanese husband. Abby calls it bizarre but possible and advises treating her as someone else's wife. The third asks about wearing a deceased sister's wedding dress. Abby says not advisable and declines superstition.
