Her mother, though married again, works continuously for funds 'to spend on clothes, beauty care, and consequently Beverly has had very little homt Ufe such as a young child needs. She is disobedient, quarrelsome and impudent with her father and me, can't hold friends either at school or here, seems always to have a chip on her shoulder, and if we try conversationally to show her where she is wrong, she shrugs us ott with 1 can't help it" I have two children- by a former marriage, too; and in addition Dan and I now have two lovely child- ren of our own.

Now with four children, is a bedlam of quarrels and falsehoods; of Dan and me. can't help how she acts in conse- quence. YoaVs sever emotionally identi- fied yourself with her; never have sensed sympathetically the fierce ness--that underlie and animate her outlaw behavior. You've seea her only as nuisance, to be adroitly underlined as such in Dan's eyes; and what's he doing for his child' Looking to you In vain, it seems, for redemptive mother-care of her, and matching your galled reactions with anger- symptoms of his own.

But something must be done, for Bev- erly's sake--to lielp straighten her out--and also to protect our young children from her behavior. She even fights with them. It has been suggested that we place her in a boarding home.

Is this a good idea? Tm not sure the mother would consent; and' she, being the guardian, would have the final say, of course; but Dan and I would be grateful for your comment B.T. Family Influences Injurious to Girl DEAR It's certainly true that Beverly's plight calls to high heaven for succor. She should be rescued from her "rejected" sta- tus, both in her mother's custody and yours. Almost any spirited child, sim- ilarly shunted from pillar to post twixt mother and stepmother, equally vexed by her "wretched personality and need of care, would become progressively furtive, de- fiant, defensive and difficult over the years. What chance has she to relax and herself constructively, in wholesome outflow of happy lov- ing relatedness to anybody? Emo- tional energies must be spent, if not in love, then in hate; and par- ents, but especially mothers or their proxies, by their innermost feelings about a child, determine which attitude--love or hate--the child shall take toward intimates and society.

Soul Isn't Granted that Beverly's mother has failed her terribly, still what have you done to repair the deficit? Search the record feelings about her and face the fact that, all the while going through mo- tions of including her in the fam- ily circle--as a wifely bid for Dan's esteem, your essenti: attitude has been one of taut intolerance. Beverly feels this in hfer bones, and it's tragically true that she a girls' boarding school as the best face-saving substitute lor "home" in family emergenncy. M.H.
