GIRL'S ARRIVAL TURNS DRINKS FOR TWO INTO PARTY OF THREE

DEAR ABBY: Last week I suggested to a co-worker, "Zack," that
I treat him to a beer after work. Before our pints arrived,
he disappeared to a corner of the pub to text on his phone,
and 10 minutes later his girlfriend showed up. Her being
there obligated me to buy her a drink, and it derailed the
work-related discussion I had initially had in mind.

The following Monday, I mentioned to Zack that he should
have asked me first if it was OK to bring someone else. He
was none too pleased to hear that I thought his behavior was
rude. How far off base was I? I'll bow to your opinion.
-- WONDERING IN WESTMOUNT, CANADA

DEAR WONDERING: Did Zack know when you invited him for a
beer that you wanted to discuss business? If not, then you're
being too hard on him. But if he did know, then asking his
girlfriend to join you was presumptuous -- and he should have
offered to pay for her drink in any case.


DEAR ABBY: My 12-year-old daughter, "Jenna," is in the closet
-- literally. About a week ago, she moved into her closet.
She put her dresser in there, threw some blankets on the
floor and that's where she hangs out now. When asked why she
doesn't hang out in her room, she says, "I just like it in
the closet."

Some of her girlfriends claim to be bisexual or gay. Is she
telling me that she's "in the closet" or is she messing with
my mind? Some of her friends are into cutting, and Jenna
seems to be curious about it. I don't know what to make of
any of this. Any advice?
-- CONCERNED IN HOUSTON

DEAR CONCERNED: How close are you and your daughter? Are
you the kind of mother she feels safe talking to about
anything that might be troubling her?

Happy, outgoing girls don't usually take refuge in dark,
confined spaces. She may be overwhelmed or depressed, or
something may be going on in Jenna's life she needs help
with but is afraid to tell you. Stay closer to your daughter
for a while. If her change in behavior persists, keep probing
until you find out what's going on.

Cutting can be an attempt to mask emotional pain, and if she
starts, a licensed psychotherapist should be consulted.

DEAR ABBY: I have an 11-year-old son who has started having
issues with lying -- nothing important, just little things
like did he do his chores or brush his teeth.

I also have an alcoholic husband who says and does things
he doesn't remember later. When I get conflicting stories
from the two of them, I don't know whom to believe.

Don't suggest I leave my husband. It's not financially
feasible right now, though it is something I am looking
into.
-- WHOM DO I BELIEVE IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR WHOM: I am not suggesting that you leave your husband,
unless he poses a danger to his son during one of his black-
outs. However, if I had to choose between a husband who says
and does things he doesn't remember later, and an 11-year-old
boy who lies occasionally about having brushed his teeth or
done his chores, I'd be inclined to believe the more sober
of the two, your son. And I'd make darn sure my son under-
stood that, while I might be disappointed he hadn't done what
he was supposed to do, he'd be punished if I caught him lying
to me about it.
