The Family Council
-' - Editor's note: The Family Couaci. consist! of a Judge a psychiatrist.
thr clergymen, m newspaper ed;toi a women's editor and two writers.
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.
