Tough Talk,

My husband passed away about a year ago and I have become a part-time employee of our marriage counselor and deacon at our congregation.  In the past, he was kind and supportive, but since my husband passed away there has been a change in his tone, like he is now my spiritual guide and I should always talk to him before I do aything.  What really bothers me is last week after we talked, he hugged me and held me really close.  It was unhealthy TT, if you know what I mean.  And his wife and children were in the next room.  Should I feel bad for wanting to distance myself from him? (Galman, Texas)

Galman,

The only thing you should feel bad about is asking such a stupid question in the first place.   This POS wackjob clearly wants to get into your sugar sack.  You must cut him loose immediately and tell everyone what you just told me.  Be honest and think about issuing a public statement or ad in your local newspapers and church bulletins.  It may not be common in the US, but it is very common overseas.  What else can you do?
