Overcast skies did not interfere with the 2023 Veterans Day Parade that kicked off early Saturday in front of the Hays County Historic Courthouse. With the theme, “Honoring All Who Served the United States of America,' and sponsored by the city of San Marcos Parks and Recreation Department with assistance from the Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee, the grand marshal of the parade was San Marcos resident, retired U.S. Army Col. Jack H. Pryor. Both San Marcos High School and the San Marcos Academy sent various student representatives. The San Marcos Lions and Kiwanis clubs, area Boy Scouts and others were out in force to honor those who have served from the city and Hays County. See more photos on page 3.

Dear Abby

Mom’s abrupt shift leaves kids scratching their heads

DEAR ABBY: One night about six months ago, my mom walked out on my dad. A week later, she admitted she had been having an affair for a whole year. My parents’ divorce was final three months after she left. Mom has now announced to me and my siblings that she’s engaged and plans to marry her fiance just six months after the divorce. We think it’s a terrible idea. We really dislike her fiance and think he’s a bad guy based on our interactions with him. Mom claims to be happy, but we don’t believe her. Should we just let her live her life? How do we accept this new reality? – THROWN IN WASHINGTON DEAR THROWN: If you and your siblings plan to maintain a relationship with your mother, handle this like the hot potato it is. Recognize that things were not as rosy as you assumed in your parents’ marriage, take things one step at a time, and make an extra effort to look out for your father. Then cross your fingers and hope that as painful as this disruption is, everything works out for the best.
