Family Coun cil comliu ol a Judia, piychia trtit, three clergymen, a newtpaper editor, a women's editor and twe wrltere. Each article U a luminary of an actual case hlitory. The Council report! on problem! that have been dealt with by reiponalble aienctei and counselor!, Mn. L. B. - My niece will hava none ot mm. Barnlcu K. - I don't enjoy visiting them. e Mm. L. B. - My problem involvea my niece, lovely girl of 18 who this year atart ed college in a city not far from my own. I would like to see a lot of Bern ice, but she seema to avoid me and I feel that her father may have poisoned her mind against me and the rest of the family. Her parents were divorced when she was quite young and her father is very bitter against the whole family. Bernice was brought up by her father and step mother. I have tried to show Bernice that we are not the horrible people she imagines, yet she repeatedly turns down invita tions to our home. She turns into a block of ice if any men tion is made of her mother and shows no interest in see ing her mother. Bernice K. - My father warned me that the whole family would start to plague me If I went to school here, but I was particularly inter ested in a program I can only get at this college. It just lsn t true that my father has poisoned my mind. He never spoke against my mother or her family. I have a mind of my own. I know that my mother did wrong when she had an affair with another man and practically deserted us. I was still a child at the time, but t can remem ber how Aunt Laura came to our home and defended Moth er and blamed the whole thing on my father. I have been polite to my aunt, but frankly I don't enjoy visiting her. It's much more fun to spend week ends around the college. e The Council: We think Mrs. L. B. is making a mistake to force her attentions on her niece. The only way Bernice can find out that her mother's family is made up of nice in stead of "horrible" people ia through the experience of her contacts with them. If these contacts are forced and they take the form of lecturing and propagandizing, she will not like them and will not be convinced of anything. We do think, however, that Bernice should recognize she has no right to judge her mother or the conduct of the other adults In the family. Naturally, she carries a deep wound because of the break up of her home, but she should know that she is not in a position to know all of the facts. Even if she did know all of them, her role in life is not that of judge and prose cutor of her mother. It is natural for Bernice to be wary of her contacts with her mother's family at this stage, as it is for that family to want to explain and justify and try to reconcile Bernice with her mother. But it takes time, patience and under standing for true reconcilia tions to be made. Any recon ciliation that might be affect ed through pressure wouldn't be worth very much to either mother or daughter. Bernice ought to try to re serve judgment on the whole family situation and Mrs. L.B. should make up her mind to keep her approaches to the young girl gentle and moder ate. She should not discuss family matters when they get together. She should simply let her niece know that she has a family near her, inter ested in her welfare and ready to help her. She should cer tainly not speak against the girl's father. (Copyright I960, General Features Corp.)
