European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 25, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 20 a the stars and stripes monday november 25, 1991today�?Ts crossword Ann Landers dear Ann Landers a baffled parents in Alabama nearly sent me through the roof. The writer complained that her daughter As a result of therapy suddenly decided that most of her problems were caused by being brought up in a a dysfunctional the writer concluded that the current trend is for adult children to blame their parents for everything that has gone wrong in their lives and that therapists and Counselor promote this concept. In a not a trained psychotherapist psychiatrist or anything else for that matter but it seems to me that this woman and her husband Are in serious denial or else they Are wearing horse blinders. People do not go to therapists just for the Heck of it. They go because they Are hurting. That daughter finally mustered up enough courage to Tell her parents something that happened in her childhood is bothering her and her Mother responds by saying a please Ann Tell us How to get these kids off our those parents flatly refuse to acknowledge that their daughter has a legitimate complaint because they paid for her College education. Since when does spending big Bucks on children translate into Good parenting not Many people will admit it but most of us come from families that Are somewhat dysfunctional. The author affirmed this in her letter when she said a a we be checked with our friends and this sort of thing seems to be Ann How could you Side with those parents after hearing Only half the Story How do you know this dear Abby dear Abby in a recent column you condemned the traditional labor Day Pigeon shoot in Hegins a. I was pleased to learn that you were compassionate enough to have written to then gov. Dick Thornburgh in 1986, protesting that Barbaric tradition and you asked him to please put an end to it. You said he responded with a courteous letter defending the live Pigeon shoot As a time honoured tradition. Well Abby on election Day Early this month Thornburgh suffered an unexpected defeat in his race for the . Senate. In Philadelphia the newspaper headlines read a Wofford stuns Thornburgh a in sustaining this totally unexpected defeat Thornburgh must have Felt As stunned As those doomed pigeons of Hegins for whom he refused to take merciful action. Janice Dillon Wilmington Del. Dear Janice i have received a few letters asking if it was just a coincidence that the letter about Dick Thornburgh and the labor Day Pigeon shoot in Hegins appeared in my column just a few Days before the Pennsylvania elections. I assure you it was. I am not so egotistical to presume that my column was in any Way responsible for Thornburgh a defeat. Suffice it to say it did no to help him any. Woman and her husband weren to alcoholic mudslinging cold hearted materialistic and abusive you really lost your objectivity on this one. A.m., Long Island n y. Dear . I honestly believe that most parents do the Best they can. Those who Are emotionally crippled Are often the products of parents who were emotional cripples and they hand Down this miserable legacy to their children. Blessed Are the ones who get treatment and break the wretched Chain. Dear Ann Landers the wedding i was to stand up in was cancelled. My altered bridesmaids dress is still in the shop along with the Down payment. Should the Bride pay for All the bridesmaids dresses should the Cost be split Between the Bride and the bridesmaids Why can to bridesmaids rent dresses the Way Guys rent tuxedos k. In Oakland dear Oakland somewhere in this world there must be a place that has bridesmaids dresses for rent but in be never heard of it. Not a bad idea actually. It would be wonderful if the Bride would help defray the Cost of those useless bridesmaids dresses but unless she a miss got rocks done to expect it. You appear to be up that it vell known Creek without a paddle dear. When you accepted the a a Honor of being in the wedding party you signed on to Lay out a Nice hunk of change and now you Are doing just that a minus the fun. My condolences. C creators Syndicate inc., read on dear Abby re Dick Thornburgh a letter to you describing the Hegins Pigeon shoot As a a time honoured tradition a May i remind him of a few other a time honoured traditions a Public hangings. A segregation. A cockfight. A bullfights. A the caste system. A apartheid. A binding the feet of female infants in pre revolutionary China to impede their growth.
