DEAR ABBY: Can you please help me decide what to do? I am 60 years old and have adult children.
I want to write a journal of my life, but there are a few shocking things in my family's past. How much should I tell my children? Or should I leave the family skeletons in the closet? I've been worrying about this for a long time. -- MRS. "O"
DEAR MRS. "O": How much of your life you choose to reveal is a decision that only you can make; however, I urge you to think carefully before revealing information that could hurt family members.
Above all, whatever you disclose in your journal must be the truth.
