Dear Abby,
 
    Perhaps you can help me with my problem.  My ex-wife has custody of
our seven children after she divorced me for desertion.  I have two brothers,
one who works for Microsoft and two sisters.
 
    My mother has been in a mental institution since I was three years old,
and my father is involved in selling drugs.  The other brother is awaiting
electrocution for murder in Alabama, and the two sisters are involved in
prostitution in Las Vegas.  Recently I met a very nice girl who was just
released from prison for smothering her illegitimate child, and I wish to
marry her.  My question is, should I tell her about the brother who
works at Microsoft??
 
Signed,
Worried
