Dear Ann Landers,
fter twenty-five years of marriage I had to admit my wife was a bore. I met a younger woman who was exciting, attractive, and made me feel alive. When I asked my wife for a divorce, she took it like a lady and we parted friends. I am very happy. I pay alimony and child support, and I am never late with the check. The problem is my teen-age children. They treat me as if I were a stranger. Is this fair? Everyone in town is aware of their indifference to me, and it is humiliating. After all, the problem was not with them. It was with my ex-wife. I would like your help.-Texas Dad

Dear Dad,
I guess everything comes bigger in Texas-even the heels. Your children resent what you did to their mother, and they are letting you know it. Go cry on somebody else's shoulder, Tex.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
