Dear Abby:

I am a grease monkey in the United States Army stationed in Fort Lewis. My parents live in Bellingham and one of my sisters, who lives in Renton, is married to a Islamic Fundamentalist. My Father and Mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana and are currently dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in SeaTac.

I have two brothers, one who is currently serving a non-parole life sentence at Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, for the rape & murder of a teenage boy in 1994, the other currently being held in the King County Regional Justice Center on charges of incest with his three children.

I have recently become engaged to marry a former Thai prostitute who lives in Fife and indeed is still a part time "working girl" in a brothel; however, her time there is limited as she has recently been infected with an STD. We intend to marry as soon as possible and are currently looking into the possibility of opening our own brothel with my fiancee utilizing her knowledge of the industry working as the manager. I am hoping my two sisters would be interested in joining our team. Although I would prefer them not to prostitute themselves, at least it would get them off the streets and hopefully off the heroin.

My problem is this: I love my fiancee and look forward to bringing her into the family and of course I want to be totally honest with her.

Should I tell her about my cousin who graduated from Washington State University?
