European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 01, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse R i Ann Landers dear Ann lasers you printed better from a woman who loathed her husband. I and made it a Point to Tell her children every Rotten thing he did. You advised her to get counselling and dissipate her rage before she7did irreparable harm. Please done to quit saying it Ann. In a at an age 40 when Many of my friends Are either recovering from a divorce or Are in the Middle of one. The Way they talk to their children about their spouses is appalling. My parents divorced when i was 6, and in be never stopped thanking my mom for the Classy Way she handled it. My dad was a terrible husband and a Lousy father but i came to those conclusions on my own. Mon never uttered against him. Not once did she say a we can to afford that because your father Hasni to been sending the support i knew without being told that he dressed like a Prince and had plenty of Money to partying and trips for himself. If a father is abusive irresponsible and never around when he is needed the children know it. No child needs to have these things spelled out. When marriages fal apart the children invariably get hit by some flying debris. How much better for everyone if there is no placing of blame. Vancouver dear Abby dear Abby Hooray i can write and done to have to sign my name a or else id is be snubbed and called a heartless p traitor in my Small town a about if the mothers Day custom that fre a Quentlyn causes much pain. Certainly mothers should be honoured As a Well As fathers on their special Day. But what about childless women some churches ceremoniously present a Flower to the oldest Mother the youngest Mother the Mother with the most children Etc. However there Are among it us Many Noble women a schoolteachers nurses or perhaps just friends or neighbors a who through Cir i cum stances beyond our control have never expert Quot ended motherhood. How about the woman who conceived accidentally but gave her baby the right to live and be adopted i and the Mother who due to Accident or poor health lost every child she conceived where Are the Flowers is for them nameless and hurting dear hurting ? you Are right. There Are Many women who have never experienced motherhood but nevertheless have made significant contributions to the lives of others the eldest sister who never married because it was her lotto aise her siblings and who was then called upon to look after her aging parents or an ailing relative.
