Mm. L.D. - Jenny'i in love
with a divorced man.
Jennifer D. - He'i a good,
solid man.
"
Mrs. L.D. - My husband
and I are terribly upset about
our daughter, Jennifer, who
is 17 and in love with a di
vorced man of 30.
Jenny has worked for this
man as a part-time typist for
ihf nast vear. She has talked
Mr. T., breathed Mr. T., lived
Mr. T. nearly every waking
moment. When she is finished
talking to us about him, she
calls up her girl friends and
starts on them.
Well, we thought it was
just silly and laughable-until
Mr. T. started responding, tie
has gotten into the habit of
taking her out to coffee after
work, walking her home and
kissing her on the forehead
at the door. 1
My husband says that if
Jenny doesn t quit that job
right away he, personally, is
going to have dealings with
Mr. T.
'
Jennifer D. - My parenti
are absolutely the limit!
You'd think I'd done some
thing awful. I've done noth
ing. I've sworn that if my
father goes to talk to him I'm
just going to run away from
home. I can do it too - and
they know it. I have savings
and I'm an expert typist.
One of my friends told me
her parents would be glad if
she went out with a good,
solid man like Mr. T. The kids
she goes out with and the
ones I have dated are just
awful! Besides, we'll be ready
for marriage in another year
or. two and these kid have at
least ten years to go.
As for Mr. T. having been
divorced, it's just a laugh to
hear my parents talk on that
subject! My father was di
vorced himself, yet he threat
ens something drastic if I
bring Mr. T. into the house.
The Council: No, Mr. L.D.!
Don't shut the door in Mr. T.'s
face and don't go doing any
thing "drastic" and don't try
to force Jenny to quit her
job. It isn't the right way at
all.
Instead, the L.D.'s should
invite Mr. T. in and offer him
a cup of coffee and get him
to talk.
When a 17-year-old girl is
-in love and seems to be get
ting some manner of response
from a man, it is important
for the parents to know as
much as possible about him.
So far, all the L.D.'s know
about him is that he has been
divorced. And how many chil
dren must he support? And
what more about his past?
The answers to these ques
tions can't be obtained by a
direct or hostile .approach.
The L.D.'s owe it to their
daughter to treat her
acquaintances ' with courtesy
and real interest. It is quite
possible that they will find
that they like Mr. T. - or
that Jenny will cool off a bit
when she sees him in an or
dinary home setting.
From the surface evidence
it would seem that this man
is rather immature and that
he is so flattered by Jenny's
breathless adoration that he
can't resist making the most
of it. When confronted with
older people - especially a
pair of interested parents -
he may lose a lot of the
authority of manner that at
tracts Jenny.
When parental eyes give a
man a serious going-over, the
man is likely to disappear if
he is. not serious. If he is, the
L.D.s better get acquainted.
