A have you Ever known a crack addict i mean personally my sister just divorced her crack addicted Hus-1 band after wasting 10 years of her Young life trying to a help him a clean up his Ann these people Don t need a victim to bolster their resolve. They Are parasites who suck the life out of everyone around them. My sex brother in Law was a world class liar a thief and a totally self entered manipulator. He stole from every Emann Landers Ployer he Ever had As Well As famil mily members. Whenever head get fired or whenever my sister would threaten to leave him he would go into rehab for a few weeks. When he got out head lie and say he was clean a for life a right hand raised to god and the very next Day head go right Back to his drugs. My sister fell for it every time believing that she was causing his problems. He convinced her that if she would stick with him he would get off the drugs get a real Job and Stop conning everybody. This animal left my sister emotionally wrecked and financially ruined. Nothing she or anyone else said or did made a damned bit of difference. You should have told that Young woman to get As far away from the creep As possible. If he can get off drugs and stay off for at least a year then they might be Able to have a relationship. Otherwise she is a fool to let him waste her time. Seen it happen in Michigan dear Michigan everyone deserves a second Chance a even a crack addict. I agree however that your sister was a fool to let her husband con her for 10 years. People who a a forgive time and time again become enablers. I say give an addict one Chance and if he a Back at it say a goodbye and Good Luck. Come and see me when you be been clean for a letters to Ann Landers should be addressed to her Ai .

A a a a a family Happy to be politically at Odds dear Abby dear Abby you recently told a fighting in Connecticut that her family is unusual because she is a Democrat and her husband is a registered Republican.

Up until she died my Mother wore tier a i married a damned democrats Button to the polls and my father wore his �?o1 married a damned Republican Button. In fact when my father ran for township committee my Mother even vote for her own husband in the primaries. Because. Of our differences our two daughters get to hear both sides of nearly every Issue. We tolerate each others differences and have Learned the Fine Art of Compromise. Some people think we Are a crazy couple but our 15-year-old Nappy marriage is built on tolerance of our differences and the integrity to stand up for what we believe in. Neither of us will probably Ever change our stance of abortion or the equal rights amendment but we never attack each other personally. Sign me tolerant in new Jersey dear tolerant i think you arc a tremendously intelligent family. Dear Abby recently my husband and i moved to my husbands Homeland to be with his Mother who has been diag quibble nosed with emphysema and deteriorating lungs. Last March the doctors prognosis was that she would die within a matter of months. We decided to be with her and the family in this time of crisis. Our problem is that she is still smoking cigarettes and is not using her oxygen As often As she should. She is constantly wheezing and Short of breath. After Many years of working her doctor told her to quit her Job so now she a Home All Day and All she talks about is dying. Abby if she is so worried about dying Why is she still smoking she has five wonderful grandchildren to watch grow up and my husband and i would like her to be Arou Ltd when we have children. Feel like in a hitting my head against a Brick Wall whenever i try to talk to her and give her words of encouragement. She refuses to go to another doctor for a second opinion. Abby what can the family and i do to help her see the Light concerned daughter in Law dear concerned daughter in Law your Mother in Law has probably not stopped smoking bed use she is hopelessly addicted to cigarettes and feels that because she is terminal its useless to flight a Battle she has been told she will lose soon anyway.
