Dear Abby: My friend is driving a violent sex offender, what should I do?

Dear Abby: My 55-year-old son has been living with her for eight years. She has been driving a man around whom she told me is a friend of her son and she knows his family. What she never mentioned is that he is a registered violent sex offender who was just released from prison.

She knows how I feel about this issue. Sex offenders are not allowed where we live because there are children here. I am very upset and told her to never call me or come to my house. She brought her husband to her home for a cooking. Children live on both sides of it. She has tried to talk to me but I’m gone. I feel hurt and lied to. She does not seem to care about protecting children in the neighborhood. What should I do here? – Angry in Indiana

Dear angry: So the responsible thing. For the safety of those children, inform the police that a neighbor has brought a violent sex offender registered in her home, despite the fact that minor children live on every side of it. Authorities can take it from there.

Dear Abby: My niece and I have always had a strong connection. Her son and his wife were expecting a baby. Most of my family knew, but they didn’t want to tell anyone else that she reaches her second trimester.

My granddaughter told me. I had to keep it a secret. I was depressed because my son is going through a divorce and my psychiatrist put me on a new drug. As I was in medicine, for some reason I forgot to keep her secret and sent a text to her son wishing her.

My niece is beyond angry with me. I told her that I don’t know why I didn’t. Come to find out that medicines can cause “confusion”. I told my doctor what happened, and she verified it. I explain to my granddaughter about medicines. Although we do not live close, we usually talk a lot. We haven’t spoken since this. I have apologized. I would love to have that connection again. Is there anything I can do? – Poured the secret

Dear Shed: You have already done what you can. Your niece will now have to work through its anger and disappointment. However, if and when this happens, so don’t expect to be her trustee again. That ship is likely to navigate.

For my Asian readers celebrating the Lunar New Year: Lunar New Year begins today. The year of the snake is. According to Asian culture, individuals born in the year of the snake are purpose -oriented. They are excellent mediators – intelligent, refined, clear in business and are good providers because they value material wealth. A healthy, happy and prosperous new year for all of you. (Hiss, Hiss, Hooray!) – Love, Abby
