GRANDMA'S LATE NIGHTS TAKE THEIR TOLL ON HER GRANDKIDS
DEAR ABBY: My sister "Carole's" husband died a year ago, and
her oldest daughter passed away four months later. Carole
now has her daughter's two oldest children, ages 10 and 14.
Carole has been going out with men she meets on the Internet,
drinking and partying on weekends and neglecting the kids.
The 10-year-old had been receiving psychological help since
before her mom died and was on medication, but Carole has
dropped all of this help for the child. The girl had been
molested by a relative years ago, and now with her mother
gone, she's not moving forward in school or in life.
Some of us are willing to take the children from her. She
seems not to care what happens to them. She devotes all her
attention to the next guy she can be with. She has left the
kids alone all night when she was spending the night with
men. I'm not supposed to know this, but my adult niece found
out from the kids. What can our family do to bring Carole
back to earth and help these kids?
-- DEEPLY CONCERNED IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR DEEPLY CONCERNED: Bringing Carole back to earth and
helping the kids may be two separate issues -- and you may
not be able to accomplish both. It is possible that Carole
would be open to others in the family taking in the children
if you approach her as a group and "sympathetically" offer
her that option. Explain that you all can see the stress
she's under trying to find herself as a widow and grieving
mother.
It appears that she is in need of counseling -- if she's
open to it. Make it plain that her children would be welcome
to stay with you on a temporary or permanent basis. If she
agrees, fine. However, if she doesn't, contact Childhelp
USA, which can give you information about agencies that can
help. Contact them by logging onto:

DEAR ABBY: My son was killed in a car accident five years
ago. His wife, who was pregnant at the time, gave birth to a
beautiful baby boy a few months later.
Last month, I received a phone call from a woman we barely
know who told me -- very politely -- that she had a
"surprise" for me. She then informed me that I have another
grandchild, a little girl! She claims my son got her grand-
daughter pregnant six years ago, and that she had the DNA
checked to prove my son was the father. Needless to say,
my wife and I were floored.
Abby, I don't know how to react. My wife, who is level-
headed, told me not to react right now and to think things
through. Do I go to this grandchild with open arms? It
doesn't feel right. The child's mother has not reached out
to us at all. I need your help.
-- MAN WITH NO PLAN IN NEW YORK
DEAR MAN WITH NO PLAN: Your wife is an intelligent lady. I,
too, find it odd that you would be contacted -- five years
after your son's death -- by someone other than the child's
mother. The person you should go to "with open arms" is your
attorney. If there is DNA evidence, your attorney can help
you determine if it's authentic and what your next move
should be. Because you have not heard from the mother, you
should not approach the child unless you have first made
certain your attention is welcome.

Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It." To order, send
