Dear Ann Landers,
After 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? 115 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.
