grown up and how child after that he couldn't exactly believe that i know i don't like to believe it myself but we've been missing things around here for some time little things and now there's this matter of a bracelet have you by any chance missed a gold bracelet oh i don't know what well that's what i'm calling you about i've talked to mr perkins and most folks mark consultant and we all agree that this isn't a matter for punishment the punishment in fact might make it worse tom we wouldn't be behaving  we weren't seriously upset by something that we don't understand at the moment and that he's not aware of themselves we think it calls for professionals out you know that guidance clinic over on time str yeah well that's set up to handle just this sort of problem but we feel very strongly that you should take tommy over there they're nice people easy to talk to miss black because the psychiatric social worker if you call her for an appointment chill make all the necessary arrangements but what can they do tammy is my child and it'll be up to you to do the most for it but it's only fair to yourself to let a professional guide to these things are never easy may i tell most black to expect your call yes i suppose you better tell him to be careful when he crosses the boulevard there's no cretin on duty at this hour and how did you feel right at that moment when you realized they had all of the evidence i suppose i was angry well i was disappointed even afraid i  course for it i had failed i had failed you see tom it's been the one big thing in my life for the last ten years the only thing i've cared about the only thing i've lived for i know it's the mother who's responsible for the child's character that's why i've tried so hard with tommy why i've watched his habits and watched his friends i've sacrificed everything so that we could live in a nice neighborhood so we know nice people we do have a nice comfortable home really we do i'm sure you do it's not as though i neglected tommy and gone out playing cards or running to cocktail parties i've tried to be a good mother right from the day he was born i was unable to feed him myself but i never let anyone else fix the formula i followed all the doctor's orders religiously i was determined to do a good job with tommy even before tommy was born i promised myself that i'd try to do a good job bringing up my children i wanted them to have everything i'd missed in childhood you see my mother was always so busy did she go to work no but we had a big house and she ran it perfectly all by herself and it didn't do that she actually neglected us but well she's just that sort of woman always fussing about never in one place more than a minute well i wasn't going to be like that and how do you feel about your mother now i love her of course that is i guess i do i wonder mrs randall all this is helping us the last in our understanding of tammy why don't we go on talking about it next week all right oh don't wait for michigan tommy's home state is fortunate in being able to provide community clinics where probably youngsters can be helped to grow up emotionally where their parents can learn to play their part in the process often mothers w bring children to the clinic usually the suggestion for a first visit is made by the school or a doctor or sometimes by a judge this time or such a clinic is usually headed by a psychiatrist in this case dr leonard marsh i don't care about your spelling you respond take me i'm not like most current i'm a doctor or something like a doctor you go to when you're sick who is the better way up oh yes i know him very well how do you get along with him ok well that's fine as long as you get along so well with doctors and i get along so well with boys we shouldn't have any trouble at all you probably even get to like coming year after a while we're going to play a bit talk a bit they talk mostly army came in the can again almost six said don't this time i want you to tell me stories about some pictures i'm going to show you be sure to tell me the whole story what went on before and how the story is going to end suppose we try this one home that's just what i want to hear more about well mrs randolph puts a lot of emphasis on their nice home life for example this is the sort of thing she would tell me what about our home what about tell me frank you didn't say yes did you know i told him i'd think it over thank goodness i was really frightened there for a minute i should have known you wouldn't make a mistake like that  such a mistake as a raise goes with it can't you see what they're trying to do the time your father and i are discussing grownup matters you go wash up and come when i call supper go alone now they give you a raise but you seem to forget that you have to start out all over again building up a tolerance of mine do very well the big market like new york might but there's no might about your commission here at least i'm going to these roof over our heads decides how could we leave all lists can wander around with a family the way you did when you were single of course if it means a great deal to you to go to new york i guess that doesn't mean  i don't know i suppose you're right as usual i just thought i could get out of this rut if i could i suppose you're right what could i do against the kind of competition i was kind  down on it that isn't just like you but it means moving to new york i can just go to you mark i'm surprised at you frank but mother mother or nothing if you can get him to do something for myself and get some sleep in this world i don't know if i can try but mother i'm the one that i'm just telling you that i can partly to get around this world if you're ever going to be a success in it new york is just a place where you all she'll be all right she's had headaches like it ever since she was a kid her stomach i know she never would eat you know i know they seem to hate her all the time women tell me your mother doesn't like you to talk in your napkin like that
