Dear Fonseca,
I'm 27 years old and still live at home. My father borrowed my car on Saturday because his was in the shop getting repaired. I got my Honda back yesterday and was stunned when I found male enhancement pills from Walgreens in the glove box. My father must have purchased them while he was out running errands. He obviously forgot about them. He and my mother have been having problems as of late. I've been very suspicious of my father because he's been coming home late at night. I almost want to confront him about the pills. The other half of me wants to give them to my mother. I'm not sure if my father is cheating or not. What would you do if you were me? Should I confront my father or give the pills to my mother and allow her to confront him? How do I handle this?
