Dear Ann Landers,
am a professional man (certified public ac-countant), 40 years of age and the father of four young boys. I am at-tracted to little girls. Please do not recommend that I seek psychiatric care because I have already gone that route with two psychiatrists and a clinical psycholo-gist. "Treatment" has cost me more than $6,000, and I received no help whatsoever. You cannot respond to my home because my wife might open the letter and it would mean the end of our marriage. Please help. I am desperate. -No City, No State, Just Dead-End Street, USA
Dear USA,
When people are sick the only advice I can give is "See a doctor," and you are among the sickest. Even though you feel the professionals did not help you, I'm going to recommend that you try still another therapist. Apparently you were "helped" sufficiently so that your activities are kept to a minimum. The alternative is to keep going along without therapy. Then, one of these days, the father of a little girl to whom you become "attracted" may put a large hole in your head-and no jury would convict him.
