Dear Abby,
   I am a crack dealer in Beaumont, Texas who has recently been
diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus. My parents live in Fort Worth and one of my
sisters, who lives in Pflugerville, is married to a transvestite.   My father and
mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana.
They are financially dependent on my other two sisters, who are
prostitutes in Dallas. I have two brothers, one is currently serving a non-parole
life sentence at Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994. My
other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct withhis
three children.   I have recently become engaged to marry a former
prostitute who lives in Longview.  She is a part time "workinggirl".
All things considered, my problem is this.  I love my fiancé' and look forward
to bringing her into the family. I certainly want to be totally open and
honest with her.  Should I tell her about my cousin who supports John Kerry
for President?
Signed,
"Worried About My Reputation"
