Dear Abby: After 17 years of marriage, I learned, to my dismay, that when he was 22, my husband had a long-term relationship with a year-old. He insisted that she had lied about her age and told him she was But even after finding out her true age, he went back to her.
Her mother was OK with it, as well as other family members who all knew she was underage. It makes me sick to my stomach. They engaged in sexual activity when she was underage. They were even engaged until she allegedly cheated. I would never have dated or married someone who knowingly had sex with an underaged individual. His feelings for that girl were sincere. He would have married her had she not cheated on him.
Dear Abby: My son and daughter-in-law are in their early 30s. They opted not to vaccinate. Although my husband and I do not agree with it, we keep our mouths shut. Our precious granddaughter has been sick with a severe cough and fever on and off for close to two months. Although they have health insurance, they refuse to take her to a doctor. They treat her with over-the-counter meds and holistic remedies. I finally told my daughter-in-law I felt it was negligence to not take the child to a pediatrician.
The other grandmother feels the same way I do. I am disconsolate with the thought that they would actually do that to me. I did apologize for my choice of words and the way I said them. What else can I do to make things right again? My son is no help. Dear Nana: If I read your letter correctly, you stated that your grandchild has had no vaccinations.
