Mom won’t mediate daughter’s divorce
myself in your position is: What am
I waiting for? Either there’s some
thing more that you want, something
concrete, or there isn’t. You can
either inhabit your marriage hap
pily as it is now, or you can’t.
If there’s nothing else coming, or
at least nothing else you’re expect
ing, then I suggest making the deci
sion to live in this marriage as-is and
make something happy of it. All in.
You’ll find out soon enough
whether this is where you’d like to
stay.

Opening lead: Queen of *
3-2 splits in both major suits would
give South an easy i.3 tricks. One
3-2 split would be the percentage
favorite, but not two 3-2 splits. Just
as well they stopped in a small slam
as even 12 tricks required excellent
technique and disdain for the
overtrick. Duplicate players would
be very likely to go down in this slam
trying for an overtrick.
South won the opening club lead
with dummy's ace and led a low
spade to his ace. He cashed the ace
of hearts and then made a play that
any rubber bridge player would be
proud of. He led a low heart! West
won with the queen and then shifted
to a diamond in response to partner’s
signal.
Declarer rose with dummy’s aee of
diamonds and carefully led the nine
of spades to his king. This proved
to be a far-sighted play when West
showed out. A heart was ruffed with
the queen of spades and the carefully
preserved five of spades was led for
a finesse through East's 10 of spades.
It was a simple matter, from here,
for South to draw the last trump and
claim his well-earned slam. Nicely
played!

pool - CAUSED A SPLASH
Dear Carolyn:
My daughter,
“Belle,” and her hus
band, “Ben,” are get
ting divorced. Ben’s
parents have always
said they love Belle,
and that if Belle and
Ben ever split, they’d
keep Belle.
Now that B and B are
divorcing, his parents have called
and left messages — they want
to talk. They specifically want us
parents to “mediate” and help “the
kids” reconcile. The kids are in
their late 30s!
I do not want to talk to them, and
think the idea of us parents mediat
ing is ridiculous. My husband isn’t
sure.
What do you think? I’m pretty
sure Ben hasn’t been honest with
his parents about why they are
divorcing, and I think it is a terrible
idea for us to get involved.
— Not-in-the-Middle Mom
If you do talk to
them, then make
sure you don’t acci
dentally touch the
real-reason-they’re-
divorcing subject by
setting your boundary
early: “What goes on
between any couple
is something only the
couple themselves
Dear Carolyn:
Do I stay married or do I go? I
certainly want us both to stop being
so sad. I feel like we’ve learned a
lot about how we got to the place
we’re in, but I don’t know if too
much time has passed. I felt lonely
for a long time and eventually
found my way on my own, within
the marriage. I’ve tried to explain it
as a wound that hurt for a while and
then healed. But I do love him very
much. And he’s a good man. So...

really know.
Well, wait. I agree getting
involved is a terrible idea... no,
wretched. It’s a wretched idea.
But you can talk to Ben’s parents
without getting involved.
If you don’t want to talk to them,
then, fine, but it might be useful to
Belle and Ben for you to express to
these parents clearly that you do
not think it’s your place to “medi
ate” or anything else.
Plus, you’ve apparently gotten to
know them somewhat through your
kids’ marriage, so why not talk? Say
hello, commiserate, share some
humanity.
A general question, so only gen
eral ideas. One of them being that
“too much time has passed” is not
a standard that’s meaningful to me.
Either you have dealt successfully
with the things that got you two in
trouble, or you have not succeeded.
Either you still love, like and appre
ciate each other enough after this
process to build a marriage you
want to be in, or you don’t anymore.
These are factors of what you actu
ally have, not of how long it took
you to get it.
At this point (and without more
info), the question I’d be asking
