Man’s increasingly obsessive behavior cause for concern
Dear Abby: I am very con-
cerned about my 33-year-old
daughter’s safety. A man in his
mid-60s, someone she met at a
previous job, has become ob-
sessed with her. He has declared
his love for her, divorced his wife
and slathered my struggling,
single daughter with gifts over
the last three years.
She has refused his advances
on nearly a daily basis, and he is
now tracking her every move. If
she leaves her house for even 30
minutes, he knows and accuses
her of going to have sex with
someone. If she says she’s com-
ing to my house, he drives by to
verify it. If it takes her longer
than he thinks it should, he ac-
cuses her of having sex with
someone. She swears that she
has never had sex with him.
It has really intensified lately.
I’m frantic about her safety.
What should I do?
Scared Mom in Florida
Dear Scared Mom: Your
daughter’s “admirer” is showing
all the signs of being a stalker.
Why is she carrying on any con-
versations with him and telling
him where she’s going? If she ac-
cepted gifts he “slathered” on
her, it may be why he feels she
encouraged him. They should be
returned.
You and your daughter
should go to the police and re-
port what he has been doing. It
may be necessary for her to take
out a restraining order because
this person appears to be unbal-
anced and maybe dangerous.
Dear Abby: My boyfriend
and I recently decided to get mar-
ried. We plan to go to the court-
house next month and have a jus-
tice of the peace perform the cere-
mony. Since it will be nothingfan-
cy, we have decided to invite just a
few family members — his mom,
grandma and brother, along with
my mom and dad.
What we need advice about is
how to tell his mom. She feels
that marriage is just a piece of
paper and you shouldn’t need it
to prove how committed you
are. Because of her views, he
wants to “surprise” her the day of
the wedding when we all arrive
at the courthouse. I feel it’s a bad
idea, and she should have some
time to get used to the thought
of us being married.
Any advice you can offer on
when to tell her, and how to han-
dle what she’s going to say?
Future Daughter-in-Law
Dear Future D.I.L.: I agree
that your boyfriend’s mother
should be told beforehand, and
the good news should be deliv-
ered by both of you. When she de-
livers the predictable “marriage is
just a piece of paper” comment,
you should respond that the piece
of paper is an important one to
you, and your boyfriend should
tell her he’s doing this because he
loves you and, in the event that
anything should happen to him,
he wants to provide for you. If she
gives you an argument, remem-
ber that you’re asking for her
blessing — not her permission.

GFTTING THE LAST WORD
You head out the from door to get the morning paper and - Bam! - you arc killed by a
meteorite.
Bummer. Who is going to write your obituary and. more importantly, what are they go-
ing to say?
Are you going to be described as a loving parent, child and sibling, followed with two
sentences of selected achievements that include being employed, and then 3 long para-
graphs listing every one of your surviving relatives by name and place of residence?
Perhaps you will get an obit that focuses more on the achievements of your |surviving|
business, the cost of which is paid through your company’s monthly advertising spend?
Or will people see your picture and ihen read all about the great marriage you had with
spouse #3. who was tire best thing ever to come into your life and wrho, incidentally,
authored the piece?
That's the problem. Too many times obituaries aren’t about the deceased,
The answer write your own obituary''. You choose among your achievements and dis-
appointments. You decide to make the tone witty, serious, bragging or tragic. You pick
between floral tributes and charitable donations.
Want to include a picture of you in high school instead of you in a wheelchair? Go for it.
Write an original poem, get advance copyright approval Lo include a passage from a fa-
vorite song or book, ask a verbose friend to ghostwrite it - this is your one shot!
Are you Lhinking that you haven't done anything that's worth memorializing? You’ve
got time - go do something interesting.
You get the Last Word. Make it count.
