del.icio.usMy Answer/Billy Graham
DEAR REV. GRAHAM: Two years after our mother died our father remarried (someone he'd known in high school). But he never discussed it with us, and he just can't seem to understand why my sisters and I are having such a hard time accepting her as part of our families. Are we wrong to feel this way? —J.H.
Dear J.H.: Over the years I've received many letters like yours — and one reason I wanted to reprint your letter is because I hope it will encourage others not to make the same mistake your father did.
No doubt your father was wrapped up in his own emotions and plans at the time — but he should have been considerate of yours as well. By not discussing his plans with you, he not only ignored your feelings but also set the stage for much resentment and hurt later on.
