STORY OF LONG-AGO ABUSE CAUSES FAMILY NEW PAIN
DEAR ABBY: My parents divorced when I was 6, and my father
remarried when I was 8. My father got custody of my brother
and me. A year later, my half-sister was born and that's
when my stepmother began physically and mentally abusing me.
My brother told family members about the abuse, but nothing
was done. My father didn't believe us kids. The abuse fin-
ally ended when my grandparents -- my mother's parents --
saw the marks on my body and took me to an attorney. My
mother got custody of me when I was 12.
My half-sister, "Liz," was only 4 when I left, so we were
never close growing up. I'm now in my early 40s. Last summer,
while I was visiting family, I went shopping with Liz and
her daughter. Tired of all the secrets, I told her the reason
I left when she was little. It came as a shock to her because
her mother had never abused her.
Now my father and brother are mad at me for telling. My
brother even told Liz it wasn't true to "protect" her. Was
I wrong for disclosing something that happened long ago? The
memories are still fresh after all these years, and doesn't
it send a message to protect the abuser?
-- TIRED OF SECRETS, CORONA, CALIF.
DEAR TIRED OF SECRETS: What your stepmother did was dis-
graceful, but you were wrong to try to exact revenge through
her daughter. All it could do was cause your half-sister
pain. As to your brother accusing you of lying after having
revealed the truth -- that was wrong, too, because it vic-
timized you twice.

DEAR ABBY: I am 25, and have been in a relationship with a
wonderful man I'll call "Tom" for a year. Tom is attentive,
caring, funny, self-sufficient and comes from a great family.
In short, he's everything a woman says she wants.
So why do I still constantly look at other men? I always
worry that there's someone better-suited to me and that I'm
just settling. Tom is definitely the best man I've ever met,
and he would make a wonderful husband and father one day.
So, how do I learn to appreciate what I have instead of
always seeking something better, which very well may not
exist?
-- WANDERING EYE IN BUFFALO, N.Y.
DEAR WANDERING EYE: Tom may be everything a woman says she
wants, but your intuition may be telling you that he isn't
what YOU want. Ask yourself what quality Tom is lacking that
causes you to constantly look at other men with an eye to
trading up, because until you figure that out, you will never
be satisfied.
DEAR ABBY: I am a single woman who has recently started a
career in local government. In my position, I am often in-
vited to functions with federal, state and local officials.
On more than one occasion, "royalty" has attended as well.
At these events, I am often introduced to officials or dig-
nitaries after I am already seated. Should I stand when
introduced as the men do, or as a lady, should I remain
seated? I have watched other women, including a few old
"pros," and the results are split. Can you please tell me
what is proper and respectful in these situations?
-- PROTOCOL-CHALLENGED IN INDIANA
DEAR PROTOCOL-CHALLENGED: Standing when introduced is con-
sidered a sign of respect, so when in doubt, stand up.
