Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a

soon to be a mother, and ever since
my husband knew about this he has
acted like a crazy man He stays
away from home many evenings, Ieav-
ing me alone, and he has threatened
TO leave me. He told a woman. who
told me, that he intended TO get a di-
vOTCe. If he does. can ! make him
support my child? Y Y Il.
II YOU have not failed in your duty
your husband viii have a hard time
getting divorce. But there seem TO
be grounds upon which you can ui-
voree him if you want to do so. To
live out your life with a man of that
kind viii probably prove impossible.
Whatever happens, compel the man
to support his child. You owe that
to the community as we'll as to the
child and to yourself.
Dear Mrs Thompson. Is it wrong
to resent being a sacrifice TO my
family?
I left school I'VE years ago and
have spent this time at home caring
for two children left by my sister.

mites.
The girls / used to chum with are

age TO make new friends Of either

and I have time to think.
Maybe 7 am selfish TO want my
chance to make my own home as my

wise me.

You mean you cannot choose your
way.
It is not selfish TO want to live your
