DEAR ABBY: My best friend of 20 years, "Claire," has suffered bouts of depression ever since I have known her. She recently confided to me that her brother had repeatedly sexually abused her as a child.

Princess is a 5-year-old lilac point Siamese mix. Possibly being blind in one eye, she is special needs and would be best in a home with no young children. She is very sweet and loves to be pet and get attention. She is sponsored, so she has no adoption fee. She has been at the San Martin Animal Shelter since December. Interested? Call (408) 686-3900.

Congratulations to St. Mary School Fifth Grader Noah Reynolds - pictured here with 5th Grade teacher Mrs. Suzanne Rich - who was among six winners in the Gilroy Elks Lodge's "What Does Veterans Day Mean To Me?" Americanism Essay contest. The contest is geared towards local students in 5th through 8th grades to promote patriotism among young people.

Although the weekend storm brought less rain than expected – .35 inches in most parts of Gilroy and Morgan Hill, according to National Weather Service statistics – the recent wet conditions have provided a “glimmer of hope” for area ranchers.

At 2:30 a.m. Feb. 1, an unknown male suspect picked up a female victim who was walking along Monterey Road near San Jose Avenue in San Jose, according to a press release from the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.

DEAR ABBY: My 38-year-old son is mentally ill and refuses medication, counseling or any type of help. I'm 63, and he physically and mentally abuses me. I had him committed, but he refused to cooperate, so they released him after two weeks. Life after that became worse.

DEAR ABBY: I have an extremely bright 7-year-old daughter, "Amy," from a previous marriage. Her biological father, "Jake," and I separated when she was an infant. He lives across the country, so while we shared custody, Amy usually saw him only once a year. For a while I called him "Dad" when talking about him to her, but when it became apparent that he wasn't going to be involved in her life (and because I was going to be remarried), we switched to using his first name.

DEAR ABBY: My best friend, "Kyra," has joined the drama department at our school. She has made a lot of theater friends now and hangs out with them every day after school. She used to meet me occasionally at my locker after school, but no longer does so. The only time I see her, she's with her theater friends, and I'm uncomfortable because I don't know them and I'm shy.
