ELIZABETH HURLOCK GIRLS MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN MOTHER AND STEPMOTHER Divorce brings a problem for children that is often more diffi cult than that faced by their par ents. In this situation loyalty, honor, and decency enter the pic ture. Here is a case where all three seem to be lacking: "I have been divorced for Iwo years and have our three daughters living with me. Four years aso I received a hock when I was informed that my husband, whom I wor shipped, was going with an other woman. I pleaded in ' vain with both of lhem. They were married right after the divorce. My daughters tell me Ihey love me yet behind my back they get together and have fun at my ex-husband and his wife's home. They buy (rifts for the woman who made ny life miserable and even carets her. Am I asking too much of my daughters when I ask them not to see her or caress her?" I'm surprised you even have to ask your daughters not to see the woman who broke up your Ik'l'J KSZTSl nome. Their W standards snoum Keep them from hav ing anything to do with her. In the case of their father it is expected that they would retain some of their love because of the happy years you all spent to gether. And it is logical they should want to see him from time to time. But it is callous to accept this new wife of your ex-husband as their mother and to treat her as a mother. Has their father tried to persuade them he did the right thing .when he divorced you or has she tried to win them away from you as she did your husband? Not only for your own pride but to' teach your daughters some principles, lay down the law about their future behavior. Tell them that so long as they live with you they may not go to visit their father while his wife is there. If they prefer her to you, let them live with their father and his new wife. They cannot love and respect two mothers simultaneously when a divorce is involved. ux. nuriocic win neip you with family problems. Write her in care of this newspaper.
