Mom sees danger everywhere
as daughter leaves for school
DEAR ABBY: I’m the
proud mom of a wonder
ful 21-year-old daughter
whom I find myself wor
rying about more and
more lately. She just
graduated from our local
college and is heading to
medical school in another
state six hours away.
Rationally, I know
she'll be fine and can take
care of herself, but I am
terrified that something
will happen to her and I
won't be there. My hus
band and daughter keep
telling me nothing will
happen and I need to
calm down.
My question is, how do
I go about staying calm
when there is danger
everywhere? She's our
only child. Aren't my
fears justified? Or am I
overreacting like they
keep telling me? —
WORRIED MOM IN
ALABAMA
DEAR WORRIED
MOM: You are overreact
ing. Many parents experi
ence the fears you are
having to some degree
when their child leaves
home. For many of them,
it happens when the child
boards the school bus at
the age of 6. For others it
happens when their
young adult leaves for
college.
While tragedies do
sometimes occur, they
can happen when a par
ent is present as well as
when their child is
absent. These incidents
are magnified when they
dominate the news cycle.
If you are unable to con
trol your anxiety, a
licensed therapist may be
able to help you regain
your balance.

DEAR ABBY: My
boyfriend, “Russell," and
I have had a good rela
tionship for five years.
He's black; I'm white.
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
The problem is, on every
holiday — Mother's Day,
Easter, Father's Day, etc.
— Russell and his family
go out to dinner and I am
not invited. I have a feel
ing it's because I’m
white. His ex-girlfriend
was black and she was
always invited to family
functions.
I love Russell but don't
think our relationship
will go anywhere because
his family doesn't
approve of me. My fami
ly totally accepts him, by
the way.
What should I do?
Should I stay in a rela
tionship where I am
shunned? He doesn't
think it's that big a deal
and says I shouldn't let it
bother me, but how can it
not? His brother's girl
friend is invited. She's
black, of course. Help,
please. — EXCLUDED
IN DELAWARE
DEAR EXCLUDED:
You have been seeing
Russell for five YEARS?
It is a big deal, and you
would have to have a hide
of Kevlar not to be both
ered by it. Have you
asked him why you are
consistently excluded?
Have you asked where he
thinks your relationship is
going? If not, it's time
you did.
Not knowing Russell's
family, I don't know
whether they may have
some other objection to
you than the fact that you
are white. Regretfully,
racism exists in every
community to some
degree. Without more
information, I am reluc
tant to label them.
