Playing favorites undermines girl’s self-esteeem
DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Todd,” and I have
been happily married for four years
and together for six. We have a daugh
ter (mine from a former marriage) and
a beautiful little boy together. I know
beyond a shadow of a doubt that Todd
loves both children equally. Despite
some tough financial times over the
past two years, we are a happy family.
Our problem? Todd’s mother. She’s
a negative, bitter woman who insists
she "can’t possibly" show our daughter
the same love she shows our son. She sends
affectionate notes to our son. none to our daugh
ter. She shops at discount stores for our daughter
and only the best shops for our son. She sent our
son a beautiful handmade toy and our daughter
a pencil yes. a pencil!
Please understand this isn’t about gifts or the
amount she spends. It’s about the obvious dis
parity. Even worse, she’s always saying that
Todd couldn’t possibly love our daughter the
way he does our son. Need 1 tell you the dam
age this has already done to our daughter?
We are at our wit’s end. Todd is ready to just
walk away from his mother. I know we can’t
change the way she feels, but are we wrong to
insist that she not show it so openly to our
daughter? Help. Please.
READY TO WALK AWAY
DEAR READY: You are not wrong. What you
have described is emotional abuse on the part of
your mother-in-law. Her blatant favoritism is
heartless, deliberate and harmful to your chil
dren’s relationship with each other not to
mention damaging your daughter's self-esteem.
If she fails to comply, you are also justified in
limiting or restricting her contact with them.
DEAR ABBY: My mother passed away two
years ago and I still have many of her things.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(March 7). This year brings
an overwhelming feeling of
acceptance. Get into (and stay
in) a winning circle this
month by first fighting off
suppressive influences, which
you can do with great skill.
The inner warrior will con
quer financial issues, too.
June features a windfall. If it
makes you more human, it's
lucky for your love life.
Capricorn and Leo figure in.
Your lucky numbers are: 4.
33. 25. 1 and 18.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) Maybe your big objective
should have nothing to do
with the future for a change.
Instead, put focus on figuring
out what’s perfect about
today. For stress relief: Figure
out where your clutter comes
from, and get rid of it.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) You'll feel you’re watch
ing the same story but with
different characters. You may
have to admit to the fact that
on some level your emotional
baggage is still being shuffled
and moved from situation to
situation. It’s time to drop it.

left her things to you because she wanted you to
enjoy them. Os course she would understand if
you cannot use them all. She didn't intend for
them to be a burden but a blessing.
Since there are more things than you need or
want, please consider sharing the rest with other
relatives who can appreciate their sentimental
value. If that's not possible, donate them to a
charity possibly one that raises money to
fight the disease that took her. I can’t think of a
more worthwhile use for them than that.
DEAR ABBY: My long-divorced father was
befriended by a well-to-do family from another
country that has lived in the United States for a
few years. They invited him to accompany them
on a four-week visit to their country. While
there, they talked him into marrying (on paper
only) one of their sisters so that her child could
get a U.S. visa.
The child has now arrived in the U.S. My
father thinks he did a wonderful thing. I think he
was used What do you think?
CONCERNED IN MINNESOTA
DEAR CONCERNED: I think your father
committed immigration fraud. Please consult an
immigration attorney on his behalf immediately.
What I think is less important than what the INS
will think if they get wind of his “good deed.”
Under the stars ’ gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
A cleaning project will bring
you peace, just as soon as
you figure out the best way to
get started. (Why make life
hard on yourself? Ask some
one who has already accom
plished this task for tips.)
Enroll family wherever possi
ble.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). The most exciting things
happen on a whim that is.
if you follow through. Reach
out to friends they're wait
ing, just like you. The one
with the hilarious sense of
humor will keep you laugh
ing all evening.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). An
in-between stage is awkward.
Decide what you really must
know in order to move for
ward in a relationship. You
don’t need truth serum, a hot
iron or hypnotism to get
someone to confess all
you have to do is ask.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22).
Practice being a light spirit
even when the day presents
you with heavy questions.
Relationships need time to
settle into a groove. Your lev
ity will allow you to speak
the truth tonight and be
heard.
LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct. 23).
Ignore errors that are of little
consequence. Loved ones
appreciate that they can count
on you not to be petty or
shallow. A Vitgo can help you
make a master plan for de
cluttering and also help you
follow through.
respect her belongings if I don’t
keep everything.
My question is. do you think
she’ll understand that I don’t have a
lot of space in my house? Do you
have any ideas about where 1 could
put her things? Thank you for tak
ing the time to answer my ques
tions.
WITHOUT MOM
DEAR WITHOUT: Your mother
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). When you make a deci
sion. you’ll shake everyone
up and why not? You're
probably just the one to shock
someone into action. Ask
friends and family to help you
dispose of what you don't
want. One man's trash ...
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Instead of figuring
out away to cut your budget,
think of away to increase
your income to afford neces
sities and plenty in your
reserve, too. Plan a surprise
party. Why do you need an
occasion?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) A false belief could be
holding you back. A reality
check comes from someone
younger probably a
Gemini or Leo. Listen up.
Conversation provides info
you can use to free yourself
from your self-created
bondage.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Maybe you're solidly
sick of what a loved one is
doing. Don't worry this
person will change, as soon as
he or she is solidly sick of it.
too. Be generous with your
prayers. Mentioning every
single one of your helpers is
lucky.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20) Nothing is more boring
than perfectly seasoned and
refined social interaction. Get
a little spicy loved ones are
exhilarated by your unpre
dictable approach. Friends
rely on your endorsement.
