Dear Abby: My brother molested me as a child should I tell his fiancee?

DEAR ABBY: I was physically, emotionally and sexually abused by my oldest brother (six years my senior) from ages 6 to 11.As soon as I could verbalize what was happening, I went to my parents and told them.

They believed me, but swept it under the rug and didn’t provide any kind of therapy or treatment for either of us. At 15, I had a mental breakdown.After that, I said, “It’s not like I will ever forget what he did to me.” My mother finally decided to get me a therapist.

Through years of therapy (I’m 25 now) I found healing, grace and forgiveness, but I feel that is for me to know and no one else’s business. Even though my parents know exactly what my brother did, they continue trying to mend our relationship, although I have expressed that I never want to have a relationship with him again. My brother is now engaged to a woman he’s been with for four years.She has met everyone in my family except me.

If you are willing to risk doing it, your family is sure to be very upset.However, if you are determined to send that letter, you should have the courage to sign your name.DEAR ABBY: My mom is getting remarried at the age of 84 to a man who is 83 and has never been married.

They got engaged after dating for six months.I think it’s unwise, but I want her to be happy, so I wil...
