Dear ABBY: My sister’s fiance, “Logan”, always seemed very flirtatious to me. I told her she should check her future husband. After they got married, the same gestures and insinuations kept happening and I reminded my sister about it. Logan did and said inappropriate things right in front of her. She once even commented, “Geez, you married the wrong sister!”
On the night of my father’s funeral dinner, everyone was worried. (I don’t drink.) Twice, in front of his wife and our sister-in-law, Logan pulled me tightly onto his hips. I told him to stop. He said, “Okay, you’re in enough trouble.”
Later, while I was in the kitchen, in front of my uncle and brother, Logan pulled me into his chest. I left and he came after me. I told him to stay away. The tension was already high between me and my sister. After dinner, when everyone was leaving, Logan came over and touched my windshield, pointed at me, and said, “You, you, you.”
That evening, I texted her, saying, “Maybe you picked the wrong sister.” Of course, he showed it to my sister. Now there’s a big rift in the family, and I’m the “bad guy.” And although the practice game took place in front of everyone, no one saw anything during the father’s funeral dinner because everyone was drunk. One day, the truth will be revealed. For now, I must eat the crow. Any advice, Abby? – CONVICTED IN PENNSYLVANIA
HONORABLE CONVICTED: Your mistake was not shouting “NO!” the first time Logan attacked you. Avoid any family gatherings that involve alcohol. Avoid Logan and your sister as often as possible. Enroll in a self-defense class so that if someone lays hands on you, you can defend yourself. And finally, if Logan catches you alone, tell him that if it happens again, you’ll report him to the police for assault – because that’s what he did to you.
Dear ABBY: My husband of 42 years passed away a year and a half ago. He was a talented singer. Five months before he died, while he was still well enough to sing, two young women came to our house with keyboards and microphones and recorded him singing worship songs. This was to be done so that his grandchildren, who would be very young when he died, could hear him in the future. These young women were considered close family friends for many years
They have now cut all ties with me and will not respond to any of my registration requests. I am hurt beyond words because we loved them as family. One of them just released an album of worship songs. She had been trying for several years to get my husband to work with her. What should I do? – SINGING A SAD SONG
DEAR SINGING: What you need to do now is consult a lawyer and tell them what happened. At the very least you should get the recording and, if they benefited financially from it, some of the money.
