Dear Abby

[low_delta]

Sometimes letters to Dear Abby are just horrifying.

I am a mother of two. I recently learned that my 16-year-old daughter, "Rene," is pregnant. When she told me who the father is, I discovered she had been having an affair with my live-in boyfriend, "Leo." It was devastating. I am engaged to marry Leo, and I still love him.

I made Rene move out. I know this seems harsh because she is pregnant, but I feel I can have a good relationship with Leo only if Rene is not around. I don't mean to choose him over her, but Rene is my daughter and she should have known better.

I want to raise Rene's baby as my own,a nd this infuriates her. Who is wrong?

There really isn't much that I can say about this, except to hope that someone is trying to put one over on Abby.

Dear CiC,
You are right to send your daughter away, but please let her raise her daughter. Make her move as far away from you as possible.

Wha....? How about sending Leo packing?! Of course, they all sound so stupid they deserve each other.

Apparently this woman's priorities are seriously fucked up. Even though it's hard on the daughter, if she has someone else to live with (extended family, good friends), that'd be better than living with a mother who so obviously cares nothing for her welfare.

The more I read it, the more I think the letter was a hoax. Like a group of friends who challenged each other to see who could get her to publish the most bizarre letter.

Great icon! Disgusting... I love it. If it were mine, though, I'd have an empty tequila bottle next to the Jack-o. Just for effect. Honest!

She should have written to Dan Savage.

Some people just shouldn't pro-create. This is a fine example.

Her daughter should've known better? Doesn't she think that Leo should've known better?

And no matter who raises her, I'm afraid that Rene's daughter is going to have a challenging life.

Wow... sounds like something from Jerry Springer. Where do these people come from?

Thing is, "Rene" is banging this guy at the age of 16, which means that Mom has basically screwed her from the get-go.

The only thing I can think of when I hear of shit like this is something a friend of mine from the shelter always says, referring to the fact that things in life get out of hand where people are involved:

"Real niggas do real shit."
