Dear Abby advises a woman who confronted her mother about having an affair.
: I appreciate you offering your booklet “How to Be Popular” to people who are uncomfortable or uncertain in social situations. I don’t know if the following tips are included, but here’s what I do: When I meet someone for the first time, I say, “Tell me three things about yourself that you would like to share.” As I listen to the response, I think of the “W” words — who, what, when, where and why. Then, for elaboration, I ask one of those questions, or perhaps more, a few minutes later.
My booklet “How To Be Popular” contains many useful tips for accomplishing this. It can be ordered by sending your name and address, plus a check or money order for $8 , to: Dear Abby Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. It is meant for people of all ages and covers a variety of situations.
Mom and I were very close, but this has ruined our relationship. I feel like she is putting reconciliation all on me, which feels unfair. What do I do? — THROWN IN MARYLAND: I am sure that what you discovered was a shock. However, you know nothing about the reason your mother may be having an extramarital affair and whether your father knows about it. What’s going on has nothing to do with you and your brother. Please take your mother’s advice.
