The planner has shared some pe rsonal information, including where he lived. Now my parents and I are completely distraught. It just so happens that his next-door neighbor was a min- ister in our church who committed atrocious of- fenses against young and special-needs people. This minister was forced to resign from the ministe- rial association; however, he is not registered as a sex offender. A relative of ours was someone he tried to vic- timize, so we know about this first-hand. My family and I have discussed what we should divulge to this acquain- tance, since he is the father of pre-teen sons. My mother wanted to tell him to "be careful," but she doesn't want to cause a neighborhood riot. We want to tell this person so he can protect his children. What can we do? —ToTellorNottoTell DEAR TO TELL» You and your parents should tell this person the truth — that you have first- hand knowledge that this former minister abused his position of trust, and that he was dismissed from the church because of accusations. I am wondering why this person was merely tossed out of the church without being prosecuted. He seems to have moved to another community where it's possible that people don't know about his behavior. Given the terrible history of clergy abuse, its best if this per- son's neighbor was made aware of his history. DEAR AMY » My husband has a hobby that I am not interested in, but it is a hobby that can be more enjoyable to do with another person. He recently began participating in this activ- ity with a woman. I was unaware of this arrange- ment until I saw them. My husband says he didn't tell me because he was afraid I would get upset. I am having a hard time dealing with this on many levels, including the way it was arranged and the fact that the other person is a woman. We each have many activities we enjoy but not all of them involve us as a couple. We seem to lack time for just having con- versations. I am feeling insecure about this. What should I do? — Worried Wife DEAR WORRIED » Your husband knew this would be a problem for you, and this is why he chose to hide it. This is how chil- dren behave when they don't want to get caught. If you truly feel that you two don't take en ou gh t im e t o be to - gether, then you should consider changes you might make in order to make connecting easier. It doesn't sound like you are trying to con- trol your husband to an extreme extent; he should respect your comfort level concerning the company he keeps.
