Dear Abby: Navigating a family tree with a rotten branch is no easy task

2025-04-23 15:45:03| Spiritual Career Counseling

DEAR ABBY: My dad is a registered sex offender who has done time for his crimes against children. My mother has continued to have contact with him and has repeatedly chosen him over her own children. She doesnt respect our wishes, and we believe she gives him information about our lives and our images.With a child on the way, I cannot continue the same level of contact with her because of this. Im not willing to have my child be at her home because she has Dad there often. Im also unwilling to give her photographs of my child because I believe she would share them with Dad. I wont leave her alone with my little one because I believe shed immediately set up a get-together for my sex offender dad to have contact with my child.How should I handle setting these boundaries? What do I do if other members of my family blame me for splitting up our family? MAMA BEAR IN OHIODEAR MAMA BEAR: You are the mama (bear), and you get to set the rules when it comes to who has access to your child...
