Dear Abby column on sister’s illicit affair and family conflicts
A reader in Illinois seeks counsel as her sister, years involved with a married man, faces pregnancy while the wife just had a second child. Dear Abby advises allowing adult choices, offering support, and avoiding forcing life on others. In the Midwest, a reader asks about nudity near her child and steps to address it tactfully with her husband’s mother. Abby suggests Brent explain the boundary and a robe, to avoid hurt feelings. Another letter requests guidance on seating in church, and Abby replies to be respectful and behave kindly in God’s house.
