My parents believed i was a a rebellious teen a a a Ann Landers and would grow out of it. They insisted i was faking illness to get attention and refused to take me to a doctor. I was Given Iron pills which they believed were a cure All and forced to attend social functions that 1 hated. When i was 19,1 landed in a College Counselor a office and that was the beginning of my recovery. It took 12 years before i accepted the fact that i had a severe mood disorder that was causing the misery in my life. I still live As far away from my family As possible but we write letters and occasionally visit. With All the signs i put out i can t understand Why no one Ever bothered to take me to a doctor.

As you probably know 1 personally select the letters for my column. I chose the letter signed a Barbara in Dallas in which she said a you would be doing Bike owners an enormous favor if you would print my  i thought her letter had Merit so i printed it. In my response to her letter i stated that a motorcycle might be legally termed a an attractive nuisance a meaning that it attracts people to it just As a set of swings a swimming Pool etc., does and unless it is a fenced in and made inaccessible to the curious Public who May want to touch and examine it a the owner had better be Well insured. The bikers wrongly assumed that i was calling their bikes a a nuisance a and the hate mall a some containing vile and filthy language a was shocking.
