Dear Diane By Diane Van Audale
By DIANE VAN ARSDALE DEAR DIANE: My father passed away December 15, 1989. My problem is this: my husband’s parents and brother showed up at the wake, but his three sisters did not. I feel they are old enough to know what the right thing to do is. By the way, their ages are 18, 26 and 29.1 understand that some people are nervous about going to those sorts of things, but they didn’t even call me or send a card to offer their condolences. I also have two small children and no one in his family offered to take care of them. Thank God our friends are so caring. I am hurt by his family’s behavior. At this point I feel that I’ll never be able to forgive them. Am I wrong for feeling this way? , HURT DEAR HURT: ‘ v Your hurt is understandable. However, I think you are so immersed in your own grief, you’re not seeing the situation clearly. Often when we lose a loved one, we expect everyone who knows us to react with the same feelings we have" When they don’t, we feel betrayed and angry. This is all an extension of the mourning. However, it’s riot realistic at all. Perhaps yous- husband’s sisters didn’bfeef'obligated because they weren’t particularly close to your immediate family, although they all may know each other. Granted, a card would have been appropriate, but don’t allow yourself to get hung up on that. If you continue to allow this resentment to fester, you’ll destroy the relationship between you and your husband’s family. Try to put this behind you and get on with your life. DEAR DIANE: My boyfriend is failing school and his mom is sending him away

OPERATION TEDDY BEAR — The fifth grade Girl Scout Troop #279, Syracuse, put Operation Teddy Bear into full effect last Thursday. The girls, led by troop leader Trudy Detwiler, traveled to the home of Melvie VJ illiams where they presented him with a teddy bear donning a t-shirt with tke scout’s troop number. The purpose of the girls trip was to let Melvie know that everyone in Syracuse misses seeing him out and about and is wishing him a speedy recovery. Melvie was certainly surprised by the girls visit as he gratefully accepted the teddy near and a get-well card they made for him. He even offered some jayful tears as the girls sang him a popular Top 40 hit. (Photo by Stacey Lesch)
to a different town and school. 1 know it’s best for him, but we don’t want to be separated. I love him too much to lose hin. I don’t know what to do abrut this. Please give me some advice. HEARTBROKEN DEAR HEARTBROKEN: I realize the separation will be hard on you, but you have no other choice than to accept it. As you’ve said, you realize it’s best for him, so if you love him as much as you say, you will be unselfish enough to let him go and have this opportunity to straighten out his academic problems. You can still write to each other and see each other occasionally. In time, you’ll realize this was best for both of you.
