Dear Abby or Dear Satan? I think the latter.
Dear Abby died 16 Jan 2013
Dear Abby is dumb... how can she assume the mother is fearful of her daughter’s independence? There is no basis for that assumption. I bet if the daughter were to get married and move on with her husband, the mother would approve... let the daughter go ahead and live with her boyfriend of 8 years... (they are not sure about marrying each other at this point?) she will likely be disappointed... there us a good chance it will not lead to marriage... the so-called next step...
