Dear Queenie,
When I was in my teens I got into trouble and was put on probation. I served my time and I’ve never been in trouble again.
Queenie, when I am getting to know someone, when do I have to tell them about all this?—Ex-con
Dear Ex-con,
You do not have to mention your conviction to a casual aquaintance. However, if/when a relationship becomes more than casual, you should tell them about it and assure them that it never has been repeated and never will be.
