Dear Eleanor:
                             I have three children in their 30's.  Their father and
                             I have been separated for years because he cheated
                             constantly.     I think my children love me,  but  my
                             sons are rude and dismissive – not just to me but al-
                             so to others.   Their father was rude and dismissive
                             to me for years  and fat-shamed me after I had chil-
                             dren.

                             I have a boy friend now and I feel really happy for
                             the first time in years.   He is open and fun and en-
                             joys my big butt.     I want to stop communicating
                             with my sons.  I love them,  but they make me un-
                             happy.  One has a new baby but does not live near
                             me.  Should I just ghost them,  or explain myself?
                             I don’t really want to go through a discussion with
                             them;  I just don’t want to interact with them.   My
                             daughter and I get along great,  and she recognizes
                             that her father mistreated me.
                                                                                  I Want a New Life

Dear Newbie:
                             My  readers  and  I want to know more about your
                             big butt.  Please send us a photo.

Dear Eleanor:
                            I'm married to a man with an identical twin brother.  He favors
                            that brother over me.    And his brother thinks my husband has
                            to help him out of a failed relationship  –  a lot of times.   And
                            he has trouble holding a job.

                            We have helped the brother seven times now with a new place
                            to stay when his wife or girl friend has kicked him out.  That's
                            ridiculous in 15 years.  The last time, my husband moved him
                            into our house while I was at work; and he didn't even ask me.
                            I married one of the twins,  not both.

                            My husband told me flat out that his twin comes before me, be-
                            cause he was there before I was.   The brother has told my hus-
                            band he has seen me with other men  and  that my children  are
                            not his.    Without this twin,  my husband and I are good.    My
                            husband calls himself  Christian,  but  I  have  decided to leave
                            him.  I even suggested counseling,  but he says he doesn't need
                            it.  Am I wrong to walk away from this marriage?
                                                                                                              Not his wife
Dear Not His:

Dear Eleanor:
                            I’m in a relationship with someone younger.
                            I'm 17; he's 15.  When I first met him, I was
                            told he was a junior.   We were close friends
                            and  have  been  through  so  much  together,
                            good and bad,  and we’ve now been in a six-
                            month relationship.

                            We don’t have bad intentions because we are
                            waiting for marriage before having sex.   I've
                            struggled with depression and anxiety, but he
                            makes me happier than I've ever been.    He's
                            the man I've been asking God for.

                            He treats me like a princess.   I have no doubt
                            in my mind that he is The One.


                            The problem is,  his parents don’t like the age
                            difference.    My parents don’t have a problem
                            with it because their age gap is the same.


                            But my parents are very strict,  and  they  will
                            agree only if his parents agree.

                            His parents have a bigger age gap but still are
                            iffy about us.  What I don’t understand is why
                            I can’t be happy with him without our parents
                            thinking we're going to have sex without thin-
                            king about consequences.

                            When we are together, we forget about the age
                            gap.

                            How do I make our parents understand?  Must
                            we break up  for the sake of our parents  when
                            I could fall into another depression?

                                                                            Happy Girl Now

Dear Happysnap:
                                  Isn't  it  time  you  fucked?    Happy  now,
                                  Nappy.

Dear Eleanor:                          
                            My beautiful daughter has a great job, two lovely
                            sons and a fiancé who loves her.    She  seems  to
                            have  it  all.  But since she’s been with the fiancé,
                            she has gained weight.   I would estimate that she
                            now weighs around 250 pounds.  She has no ener-
                            gy,  doesn't walk at all  and sits in front of the TV
                            when she;s not at work.   She refuses to allow her
                            picture to be taken; she always insists on being the
                            one taking pictures.

                            I know she’s bothered about her weight.  I'm both-
                            ered because I'm afraid she won’t live for 10 more
                            years.     Last weekend we were at an outside self-
                            service restaurant with a steep terrace and wanted
                            another drink.   She asked me to get them because
                            she would be out of breath.  I made two trips brin-
                            ging things to our table.

                            How can I tell her she needs to lose weight? I al-
                            most feel that she needs an intervention. We'd be
                            as worried if it were alcohol that was threatening
                            her life, but it's food.  Her fiancé is overweight al-
                            so.  I think he's an enabler.

                            I’m stressed and depressed over this.  They plan to
                            be married next year, and I wonder how much they
                            will weigh then.  Any advice?

Dear Mama:
                        Is Missouri not the "Show Me" state?  How about you
                        just show her some photos of fat corpses?

TABLOID HEADLINES OUT OF MY LIFE AND FUCK OFF!"

      But  remember  also,  you  have  to  spell and punctuate the message
exactly as it appears above €“ without quotation marks,  and  without  that

getting  this  shit!  ("Cut and paste"  won't  work,  either.  We have a spe-
cial filter to detect that.)
