Dear Ann Landers,
om and Dad fight like cats and dogs. I wish I had a dollar for every time we kids had to separate them and beg them to stop yelling so we could get some sleep. Dad's favorite gag is to take embarrassing pictures of Mom and pass them around to friends when they go to a party. Once he caught a picture of her while she was asleep, with her mouth open. Another time he took a picture of her washing the kitchen floor in an old bathing suit and tennis shoes. Last week Mom put a rubber snake in the medicine chest, and when Dad opened up the chest, the snake popped out and he darned near had a heart attack. There are five kids in our family, and we are raising each other. In case you haven't guessed, they both drink a lot. Can you help them straighten around?-The Five J.'s

Dear J.,
Your parents need more help than I can give them. You kids could profit from Alateen. This organization is for children who must live with alcoholism. Write to Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc., P.O. Box 182, Madison Square Station, New York, N.Y. 10010.

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?
