We text each other good morning and goodnight. Hugh doesn’t have children, and my birth father is in Ohio, so I don’t see him often.

DEAR ABBY: My mom and stepdad (“Hugh”) are divorcing after 20 years of marriage. Mom has been involved with scammers for the last two years, giving away money and her Social Security number. I no longer talk to her because of this. She actually expected me to drive her places to meet these men and lend them her money!

The problem is, my husband is saying my relationship with Hugh is “weird,” and he is feeling insecure. He says he thinks Hugh and I are attracted to each other. I’m a caregiver by profession, and I’m always there for people.

My stepdad and I started talking a lot about things involving my mom. We text each other good morning and goodnight. Hugh doesn’t have children, and my birth father is in Ohio, so I don’t see him often.
