WOMAN WANTS TO BELIEVE SEX OFFENDER'S CLAIM OF INNOCENCE
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, "Claude," and I are deeply in love.
He's devoted to me and my son. He brings me candy and flowers
and takes me out. He includes my son in everything we do.
My problem is, he recently mentioned that he is on the nati-
onal sex offenders list. He says he didn't do it and that he
was framed. It happened years ago -- if it happened at all
-- and he doesn't like to talk about it.
Abby, I need your advice. Should I believe him or run the
other way? It scares me to think that I am putting my son in
danger, but then again, I don't believe Claude did what they
say he did. Please help me.
-- MOM IN THE SOUTH
DEAR MOM: The first thing you should do is check the national
sex offenders database. Find out if Claude should, by virtue
of the fact that he is a convicted sex offender, even be
around children. Learn the facts of what happened from the
authorities in that community. And then, think with your head
instead of your heart and put your son's welfare above every-
thing.
DEAR ABBY: You frequently say children are not responsible
for their parents' divorce.
My grandmother said my parents married because my mother was
pregnant with my sister. They divorced because I was born.
What do we say to our parents, knowing they divorced because
Mom didn't want us? (I have met her only twice, and she's
not around to defend herself.) I am 25 and have had self-
esteem problems my entire life.
-- STILL FEELING SAD, MESA, ARIZ.
DEAR STILL FEELING SAD: I'm sorry you have had so little
contact with your mother. Had it been otherwise, you might
have discovered that your parents' divorce had nothing to do
with you as a person and everything to do with her and your
father's level of maturity at the time and the quality of
their marriage.
I strongly suspect that other factors in your mother's life
made her unable, rather than unwilling, to nurture. If it's
possible for you to contact her, you should do so. And if
not, discuss this with a therapist who will help you put any
questions about your self-worth to rest once and for all.

DEAR ABBY: My son is married to a beautiful Japanese woman
who is well-educated and speaks both Japanese and English
fluently. They have a daughter, "Mari," who is 2 1/2 and
just starting to talk. My concern is whether my granddaughter
should be taught English or Japanese first.
Mari already speaks and understands a little of each lang-
uage, but I'm worried that she may grow up confused while
trying to communicate with others. I feel she should learn
English first. Then, as Mari grows older, her mother can
teach her the Japanese language.
Am I being concerned about something I shouldn't be? By the
way, there is no family conflict here. I'm just concerned
that my granddaughter will grow up confused.
-- HAPPY PAPA IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR HAPPY PAPA: Worry no more. Children absorb languages
like sponges absorb water. Mari is a lucky little girl to be
learning Japanese and English so young. If she's able to
practice both, they will become interchangeable for her. So
stop worrying, and if you're receptive, your granddaughter
may teach you a few phrases.
