European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 21, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday May 21, 1992 the stars and stripes a Page 17 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i have seen Many to talk shows recently where overweight people have been guests. On one such show a woman said a a it a my business How much i these Are the people i want to address. Our oldest son had a weight problem most of his life. We tried everything to encourage him to lose weight. Repeatedly he said a a it a my life. Ill do what i want with Well Ann he did exactly that and died at age 33, weighing 560 pounds. Lie went into the Hospital with what everyone thought was a severe Case of the flu. A few Days later he developed symptoms of hepatitis but according to the tests he did not have this illness. The doctors take a rays because the table support anyone who weighed More than 300 pounds. They do a body scan because he fit in the machine. They do a spinal tap because the nurses were unable to Roll him Over. Eight people were required to give him a sponge Bath a two to hold the bed Down so it tip Over. He was in the Hospital less than a month when he died of congestive heart failure and liver and kidney problems. No one should Ever experience the helplessness of watching a loved one die because it was a this life to do with As he i know this pain after watching my son die from overeating. How tragic that All the medical knowledge available save him. P.l.w., Colton Calif. Dear Colton this was More than a medical problem a it was today s crossword dear Abby dear Abby i must comment on the letter from a a Jane smother a who resented the presence of Jane a father at their daughters College graduation because he had contributed nothing to Jane a financial or emotional support since their divorce and he did no to deserve to be there.

Dear Ann Landers my husband and i Are trying to put our marriage Back together after his affair with another woman. We be been in counselling and Learned a great Deal about ourselves and each other. I believe a a Rob when he says he wants to stay with me and work things out. I also believe that he has been faithful since we started counselling. There a one sticking Point however and your opinion would be appreciated. Rob insists that i accept this other woman As his a a Friend a someone with whom he can share his work and intellectual interests. The a a Friend has had More formal education than i but i am not a Dummy. Their Friendship consists of phone Calls letters and an occasional drink. I know he continues to share personal information about our marriage with this woman and she a a advises him. I cannot believe that her input is unbiased nor do i believe that her own needs and wants done to creep into her advice. I must add that i have never cared whether my husbands friends were male or female. He has had other female friends which was of with me because i did no to feel they were a threat to our marriage. What do you say Ann am i being difficult in a unable to be impartial toward this woman because she tried to break up our Home and Hurt our children. A. Dear a it sounds As if your husband wants you both. Tell him you refuse to Settle for that kind of an arrangement and the Ball is now in his court.
