Note: The Fmily c oun cll consists of a Judge, a psychia trist, three rlereymen, a newspaper editor, a wnme n's editor and twa writers. Earn artirlc ii a summary ol an actual rase history. The fnimrll reports on prohlems that have heen dealt with hv responsible agencies and counselors. Marilyn V. - Bill is such disappointment to me. Bill V. - Sht ii partly to blame. Marilyn V. - I have heen a widow for 15 years and have worked hard to raise my mn to be a decent, worthwhile man. Now it looks as thou eh all my efforts have been in vain. 1 My ion, Bill, is 22 and has gotten lnvoived with a 17- j year-old girl of very had repu tation. I did my best to talk him out of this affair, but J nothing helped. Now the girl ; Ls pregnant and ha wants to j marry her. I I know Bill can't be happy ; with this girl. She is nothing but a little tramp. I am posi tive he can't be sure this ex pected child is his. This girl isn't going to change after marriage. She comes of a terrible family and doesn't know how to live a decent life. I am heartbroken. He is such a disappointment to me. BUI V. - I don't want to hurt Mother, but she doesn't realize that h is partly to blame for this whole affair. She kept me tied to her apron strings. She never gnve me the freedom other fellows have. She kept telling me how I mustn't get involved with anyone who didn't "rate" in her books. Ai a result I was afraid to go out with girls. When I met Gladys she made a play for me and I couldn't resist her. I know other guys were In volved with her, but managed to duck out of the affair in time. I wag Just a sitting duck. The Councllt Marilyn blames her son for disappoint ing her and Bill blames his mother for not having done the right thing - and neither of these things is important or pertinent to the present situation. They should both cast out blame and fault-finding. The only Issue up for dis cussion is whether or not Bill and Gladyj can make a de cent marriage and a proper home for the expected child. Otir feeling is that they can't do that as long as Bill feels he has been a "sitting duck." The girl may feel the same way about Bill and may have hoodwinked him into the marriage promise. Good marriages aren't based on tricks or trapa. Possibly Bill has more af fection for Gladys than he cares to admit. His mother's sharp criticism may put him on the defensive and he may tell her he is hopelessly trap ped when actually he wants Gladys and the child he is convinced ls his. If thus is the case Bill must take a more realistic look at his situation. A girl of 17 who has been sexually pro miscuous will not change by the mere fact of marriage. She needs help in hecoming morally and emotionally re habilitated. A clergyman and psychiatrist or psychtntric so cial worker will be needed tn help put Gladys on the road toward decent living. It is most unlikely that Bill can do it by himself. Marilyn is wrong to set cer tain terms as a kind of re ward for her sacrifices for Bill. If she has done her best to instill good .standards in her son, she has done her duty and Bill must take it from there. The life he creates from now on is his own and he cannot act purely to gratify her. (Copyright 1960, General Features Corp.)
