Dear Abby: My niece is furious after I spilled her secret

jhon

Greetings, Abby

I’ve always had a close relationship with my niece. Her son was expecting a child with his spouse. Although the majority of my family was aware, they chose not to inform anyone until she was in her second trimester.

I was told by my niece. They wanted me to keep it a secret. My son’s divorce and the new medication my psychiatrist prescribed for me have been the causes of my depression. For some reason, I neglected to keep it a secret while taking the drug, and I texted her son to congratulate him.

My niece is furious with me. I informed her that I had no idea why I had done that. It turns out that the drug can lead to disorientation. My doctor confirmed what I told her had happened. I gave my niece an explanation of the drug. Despite our distance from one another, we frequently communicate. Since then, we haven’t communicated. I’m sorry. It would be wonderful to rekindle that connection. Can I help in any way? revealed the secret.

DEAR SPILLED:

What you can accomplish is already done. Your niece will now need to deal with her disappointment and rage. However, don’t expect to be her confidante again if and when that occurs. Most likely, that ship has set sail.

READERS IN ASIAN WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE LUNAR NEW YEAR:

Today marks the start of the Lunar New Year. This year is known as the Snake Year. People born in the year of the snake are considered to be goal-oriented in Asian culture. They prioritize material prosperity, which makes them good providers as well as bright, sophisticated, and astute mediators. I hope everyone has a healthy, joyous, and successful New Year. (Hooray, hiss, hiss!) ABBY, LOVE
