Dear Eleanor:
                            The other day my boy friend saw a mark on my ribs
                            just under my bust that he thought looked like a hic-
                            key.  He knew he had not given it to me,  and when
                            he asked me what it was I said I didn't know. It did-
                            n't hurt and I hadn't noticed it.  This made him furi-
                            ous because, in his words,  he would have believed
                            that it wasn't a hickey if there was a reasonable ex-
                            planation,  but what was he supposed to think  if  I
                            simply shrugged him off?    I got upset at being ac-
                            cused of cheating,   and I said I don't have an expla-
                            nation for every bump and bruise on my body;  but
                            he should trust me enough not
to assume that I was
                            cheating.  We couldn't give each other satisfactory
                            answers;  so we just redressed and went to sleep.
                                                                                                        Snapped
Dear Snappy:
                           Get your guy's brother to confess that he did it.

Dear Eleanor:
                            I have been married to my second wife for 10
                            years.  Most things sre fine,  but we have one
                            area of conflict.  I
t regards her daughter,  my
                            stepdaughter,  who has grown from a cute lit-
                           
tle 9-year-old into a beautiful 19-year-old.

                            The problem is  her  attire  around the house.

                            She routinely wears a sports bra and panties
                            around the house (around me).  I find it dis-
                            tracting, to say the least.  I have discussed it
                            with her mother, but she sees nothing wrong
                            with it,  probably because she dresses pretty
                            much the same way.

                           
I can’t get my wife to understand that  what
                            might be OK for her is inappropriate for her
                            daughter.  What should I do?  By the way, I
                            have never said  or done  anything  inappro-
                           
priate, but I find myself looking at her more
                            often than I should.  Help!
                                                                        Stepdad in Texas

Dear Stepdad:
                            Maybe you should jump the little girl's bones
                            the next time Mama isn't around.   When Ma-
                            ma gets the news,  she'll  likely  better  under-
                            stand.

Dear Eleanor:
                            I was
working out of town;  and when I got
                            home,  my wife was gone.  We were having
                            some marriage problems but were supposed
                            to see a therapist after I returned home.

                            I'll say it again: When I got home  she  was
                            gone.  She packed her stuff and left me and
                            our dog all alone. I tried to call and text but
                            no answer.  I'm left in the dark trying to find
                            out where everything went wrong.  I've start-
                            ed therapy by myself to try  to  figure  things
                            out.  Please help with some advice on how to
                            keep going in life.

Dear Eleanor:
                            My bullheaded 50-year-old daughter has taken
                            gossip from 32 years ago  to make my life hell.
                            I have four grown children. My older daughter
                            called everyone she could think of  and  said  I
                            molested my son when he was 5. My daughter
                            never checked to see whether it was true.

                            I have never been arrested for this or had char-
                            ges filed against me.    She further told all my
                            grandchildren  and  great-grandchildren  that
                            they should never stop at my home.   I am 74
                            years old,  have trouble breathing,  and  have
                            cancer in remission.  I want to see my family
                            before it's too late.     My daughter called my
                            sister-in-law  and  told her she will not go to
                            my funeral when I die.  I've been denied vis-
                            its and phone calls from family  three  years.
                            now.  I desperately need a family visit.

                                                                            Sad and Lonely

Dear Sadsack:
                            You said you were never arrested or charged,
                            but you didn't deny it.       What is your son's
                            memory?
