Dear Abby: Our sad family history can’t deter my willful father
I told her she needed to control her future husband. After they were married, the same gestures and innuendos kept happening, and I reminded my sister about it.
Logan did and said inappropriate things right in front of her. Once she even commented, “Geez, you married the wrong sister!”
The night of my father’s funeral dinner, everyone else was getting tipsy. (I don’t drink.) Twice, in front of his wife and our sister-in-law, Logan pulled me tightly close into his hips. I told him to stop. He said, “OK, you are in enough trouble.”
Later, while I was in the kitchen, in front of my uncle and brother, Logan pulled me into his chest. I pulled away and he came after me. I told him to stay away. Tension was already high between my sister and me.
After dinner, when everyone was leaving, Logan came and tapped on my windshield, pointed at me and said, “You, you, you.”
That evening, I sent him a text, saying, “Perhaps you did choose the wrong sister.” Of course, he showed it to my sister. Now there’s a huge rift in the family, and I’m the “bad guy.”
And although the hands-on game took place in front of everyone, nobody saw anything during Dad’s funeral dinner because everyone was drunk.
Someday, the truth will reveal itself. For now, I must eat crow. Any advice, Abby?
— PUNISHED IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR PUNISHED: Your mistake was in not shouting “No!” the first time Logan assaulted you.
Avoid any family gathering that includes alcohol. Avoid Logan and your sister as often as possible. Enroll in a self-defense class so that if anyone puts their hands on you, you can defend yourself.
And last, if Logan catches you alone, tell him that if it happens again, you will report him to the police for assault — because that is what he has been doing to you.
