Dear Ann Landers, his is no phony from Yale. I live in Hartford and I don't drive a car. My problem is real and I need an answer. How do parents introduce a 27-year- old son who has had a sex-change op-eration? Do we say, "This is our son Bob," or, "This is our daughter Ro-berta?" We are trying to be broadminded about the whole thing and it hasn't been easy. Please give us some assist- ence. STRUGGLING DESPER-ATELY TO BRIDGE THE GAP
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

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.
