Dear Abby advice column on adult son’s morals and marriage choices
Abigail Van Buren addresses a midlife mother worried about her 28 year old son who funds two children out of wedlock and refuses marriage. Readers are urged to accept that he is a grown man responsible for his actions.

Dear Abby Advice Column Fragments From a 1960s Letter
Read as two separate letters, the first asks Abby whether a wife should keep inviting her husband’s bachelor brothers to dinners while they never reciprocate. Abby replies the husband is correct, calling the wife a “giver” and urging no change to the pattern. The second letter, about a Viet Nam era fiancé, describes weight gain from boredom and nerves while waiting for his return, with diet attempts noted as the scene ends.
