Dear .R.,
Have you tried talking with
your son about his pain
oppo to getting your oldest
son to do it for you? You may
be just the person he needs to
talk with. However if you find
that he doe n't respond to you
and is still depressed over his
lost love, find out if he will
talk with a therapi t. He may
find it easier, once he knows

feel better about himself. It i

Dear Bride,
You are kidding your If,
you're not concern with any
one's feelings other than your
own. If your letter i any
indication of your personality,
then your finance may be in
trouble. A wedding party i
suppose to be shared and en
joyed by both the groom and
bride, Therefore the groom
is not out of place in asking
that his sister share a small
part of his happiness. The'
fact that you don't want her in
the wedding because she is
'large', truely shows your in
sensitivity.
