Featured Dilemmas for Aug. 30, 2000:

Should I move in with my ex-husband?
I'm scared of my boyfriend's mother!

Dear Baby Know-it-all,

I'm so upset!  My father has left me in his apartment with this manipulative woman who claims she has my father's baby.  I don't know what to believe but I know I can't stand living with her anymore.  For many reasons I can't move in with my mother.  I have asked my ex-husband who is now my friend if I could be his new roommate.  He is still married but his wife has left him and they are hopefully getting divorced.  I'm thinking about romantic possibilities.  Should I move in with him?

Sincerely,
Victoria Newman,
in Genoa City.

Dear Baby-Know-it-all,

I have been secretly seeing this wonderful boy but his mother is determined to stop us from being together.  She has threatened to call my mother and tell her where I am since I ran away and am now living illegally with my father and grandma.  I want to run away again with Billy but he told me it is not time to and I am suspicious he is sleeping with someone else.  I know I shouldn't be jealous but I can't help it.  I just want to be with Billy.  What should I do?

Sincerely,
Mackenzie Browning,
in Genoa City.

Dear Mackenzie Frowning,

Your secrets will definitely come back to haunt you.  Many people will get hurt especially Raul and Brittany.  If I were you, I'd tell everyone about you and Billy.  Billy's family (except Jill) and your family would definitely support you and Billy being together.  It was definitely the right thing to tell Katherine about you and Billy but you have to tell her more of your situation with your mother.  All Billy has to do is threaten to never ever talk to Jill again and he could have his mom eating out of his hand.  Even if Jill tells your mother, Katherine just has to hire Michael and Christine and you'll be safe.  Christine always wins and with Michael working with her, Chris has no competition except John Silva who I am sorry to say is a pathetic attorney.  It's already too late to stop Raul and Brittany from getting hurt but not too late for you to stop Jill.  Stop being stupid, tell the truth NOW and you and Billy will finally be able to be together.  Extra advice: Frowning is very unattractive.  Smile a little.

Lots of attitude,
Baby Know-it-all.

Dear Clown lips,

I sympathize with you.  I don't think anyone should have to live with or even know Diane, the most pathetic woman in the world.  But I think living with Ryan would be a huge mistake.  I'm all for you and Ryan hooking up but let Ryan and his wife work everything out first.  Stop clinging to Ryan and Daddy.  I'm sure as daughter of Victor Newman you can find some money to buy an apartment or live in a hotel.  Don't you think you're old enough to live on your own?  My advice: Grow up and get your own place.
