LIAM NEESON BLOOMINGTON, Ind. The new movie about the life and work of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey has received a thumbs- up from one of Kinsey's colleagues. Paul Gebhard, an 87-year-old who was a member of the late Dear Abby By Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: I am divorced and my 5-year-old daughter, "Liza," just started kindergarten. Her father, "George," remarried two years ago to a woman I'll call Beth.

Beth has a 6-year-old daughter. Now that Liza is going to "big school," Beth wants to come to all of Liza's parent- teacher functions with George (and in his place when he can't make it). George agrees with her. I don't want Beth there. I am Liza's mother.

It would be one thing if I weren't around and my daughter needed a mother to come to these things. I appreciate Beth wanting to do it, but to have her there would make me uncomfortable. I don't want to hurt Beth's feelings, but as a mother she should understand. Am I wrong to feel this way? Should I approach them with this? Please advise FEELING STEPPED ON IN N.C DEAR FEELING: Before saying anything, consider that Beth is showing a sincere interest in Liza's education. That is a plus if custody is shared.

Every child should be as fortunate as your little girl that all of the adults in her life want to make sure she excels in school. Please think this through. Your daughter's welfare should come first, and in this case, three heads may be better man two. DEAR ABBY: My 80-year-old mother-in-law, "Verna," moved in with my wife and me sometime back. We thought it would be better for her than living so far away and alone.

Her husband of many years died about 15 years ago, and she is still depressed. The trouble is, Vema has be- Come reclusive. She hoards food in her room, rarely comes out and spends hours just talking to her dog. She also believes that we feel she's an intrusion in our lives. Abhy, my wife and I talked this over before Verna came, and we both acknowledged mat although it might be difficult, we could work through any problems.

However, lately the problems have begun to include imaginary issues such as saying we won't permit her use of the telephone. (It never happened!) Is it time to seek professional help? CONCERNED IN TEXAS DEAR CONCERNED: Yes. Any change in the behavior of a person your mother-in-law's age could signal a physical, mental or neurological problem. She should be evaluated by a doctor who specializes in geriatrics and while you're at it, the doctor should be told about her chronic depression and hoarding. One thing is certain: She won't get any better if you ignore the problem.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 41-year-old gay man who has survived the AIDS virus for 19 years. I recently had a'bad Health'scare" and realized there was so much I wanted to say to people. It occurred to me that I should write my own eulogy. I'm not sure if that's appropriate or just self-indulgent. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

A positive attitude has been my strength. "WATCH ME FLY" IN PALM SPRINGS DEAR "WATCH ME If youwouldlike to write your own eulogy, by all means do so. You won't be the first to do it, and it's a surefire way to assure your message gets across especially if it's videotaped. P.S. 1 hope your "flight" is long delayed and you have many more good years in Palm Springs.
