Dear Ann Landers,
hen you finish reading this letter you'll probably say, "What a kook," and you are probably right. Maybe the menopause has something to do with it. My two sons are fifteen and eighteen. I love them very much- perhaps too much. It's the older boy I'm worried about. He always made excellent grades and was accepted by the college of his choice. He is thoughtful and kind and seems to be ex-tremely attractive to girls. I know you'll say, "So what are you worrying about?" It's true, I don't have anything to worry about but I worry anyway. Particularly do I worry that he might take up drinking and be loose with girls. Most of his friends drink, and it scares me to death. I guess what I'm asking is how can I be relaxed about this boy and give him the freedom he deserves?-Anxious Parent

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?
