Each article Is a summary of an actual report The Family Council does not five advice: it merely report; on problem that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and Manselora. ' : In D. - I can't do more for our parents. ; Dorothy R. - She should re lieve me of some of the responsibility. Ine D. I am a married woman, mother of two young children, and I am having a dispute with my older sister who is unmarried and living with our parents. r Dorothy thinks I don't spent enough time with our parents who are elderly and in poor health. I visit them with the children one afternoon a week, and one evening I have them over to dinner. They seem satisfied with this arrange ment and seem to understand that I am busy with my home and family. Only Dorothy complains. Dorothy speaks of all she sacrifices to keep our parents from being lonely, but she is often impatient, even cruel, m the way she talks to them. I'm supposed to be the bad one, but I wouldn't dream of talk ing like that. Dorothy R.-I know that I'm sometimes impatient with my parents but who wouldn't be if they were in my place? Inez has no idea what it is like living with old people who are often cranky. I know I shouldn't feel this way, but sometimes it gets on my nerves. If Inez visited more often I wouldn't have to feel guilty every time I go out. I always make several calls home to make sure they are all right. It is nerve-wracking to have this constant .responsibility. I have had to take it for the past five years and sometimes I wonder whether 1 11 be able to survive it much longer. . I haven't had a real vaca tion in three years because I've been afraid to go too far from home for a long period. The Council: We suspect that Dorothy's problem is with herself rather than her par ents. Older children who lack a sense of self-reliance y often complain of their parents' need of them. They are natu rally ashamed of facing the fact that they need their par ents. The parents are often troubled by the excessive con cern of such children. They would prefer to see their adult children living their own lives. The impatience Dorothy ex presses with her parents' cranky ways, her "nerve wracked" condition, are fair ly sure signs that she is some what disgusted with herself. Those who are happy within themselves manage to be pa tient with both the old and the young. Actually they enjoy giving of their own good spir its to others. Dorothy evidently feels in the position of a child in her parents' home. She is probab- Oregon ly aware that she would be somewhat at a loss without her parents. She detests this dependence and' turns her fu tile anger against them. - We think Dorothy must be come aware that she will have to build more of a life for her self. If she wants marriage she should turn her energies to getting it instead of wasting herself in unfair and idle re sentment of her "fate."i But married or single, Dorothy is badly in need of a live interest in something. She should seek it, and when she finds it, she will be much less resentful to ward her parents and sister. (Copyright 1959. General Features Corp.) Ashland Man on s Beef Council .- - - .
