Ask Mrs. Manners—

MRS. MANNERS I maging: my shame when I learned fn my teens my parents were married _— months before I was born. All my life I've had a torturing complex. I've felt so guilty, so humiliated because of my mother whom I've almost hated. I considered suicide. Marriage became repulsive. My ideals and hopes were smashed—my faith in life was shattered.

The house was dirtier, meaner, and the flies thicker. Sickened with my family and with marriage, I moved to another town. There I met a clean, |; sweet, lovely girl who is my wife.

Your wife: took you for what you were and’ loves you for what you've been to her. She wouldn't have married you if you'd been like your parents. There's no reason to give her the sordid details, : Let her know how much you appreciate the kind of home life she helps you build. Say to her how it contrasts with your boy- - —That's warning enough. Your _wife won't condemn you. She'll be proud you've overcome your obstac Don’t let your birth embitter you — you werep’t illegitimate. The faithlessness and flies probably bother you more than your parents’ hurried marriage. A bitter person loses the good parts of life and marriage and sometimes becomes cynical or touchy and fretful from being self-centered, Don’t let that happen to you. That would cause your wife than your family she would rarely see.
