Abby Heartwarms
A Cold Shoulder

By Abigail Van Buren

1979 by Ghicago Trbune-N.¥. Nows Synd. Inc.

DEAR ABBY: The letter signed AMERICA FIRST, in
which the writer was opposed to our taking in the baat peo-
ple, sickened me. I was further sickened to read that your
mail was running 200 to 1 in favor of turning away the
refugees!

I would like to think Lhat the writers of those letters are
in the minority, otherwise I fear for the future of our
country,

Your answer lo AMERICA FIRST must have touched the
heart and soul of every decent human being who read it, It
was the finest letter you ever wrote. Qur founding fathers
would have been proud of you.

Keep up the good work, Abby, You may be speaking for

the silent majority,
AN AMERICAN IN TUCSON

DEAR AMERICAN: I know now that I waa! My mail
usually confirms the theory that many more people will take
up the pen to oppose something than ta aupport it,

However, since printing a sampling of the discouraging
reponse, 1 have received a blizzard of mail trom readers—
easily 10,000 to L—in favor of providing refuge to the boat
people. And they're still coming in, Thank you, readers, You
are beautiful!

DEAR ABBY: 1] am 17 years old and it’s like 1 am walking
around in a fog. I just found out that my “mother” is really
my aunt, and my “aunt” is my real mother.

My mother wasn't married at the time, so she gave me to
her married sister to raise. Later, my real mother got mar-
ried and had children, That means my brothers and sisters
are really my cousins, and the kids I always thought. were
my cousins are really my half-sisters and brothers. | feel ter-
rible to think almost everybody in the family has known this
all along and I had to find it out from a stranger.

There is nothing I can de about it because I feel toward
the aunt who raised me just like any kid would feel toward
his own mather. And I don't honestly feel anything extra
special for my real mother who I thought was just another
aunt.

I guess what I want to say it this: Please tell people if they
havea secret like this in their family, it’s best to tell the kids
before they hear it from strangers. HURT ANDIN A FOG

DEAR HURT: Excellent advice!
DEAR ABBY; In reply to LARRY'S GAL, you wisely

pointed out that gambling can become an addiction as
serious as liquor and tobacco.

That caused me to recall the words of Dr. George S, .

Stevenson, a medical consultant to the National Association
for Mental Health:

“Many people come to adult life suffering from a feeling of
inadequacy about themselves, and a feeling of uncertainty
about life in general. Unable to meet the demands of life,
they may develop neurotic symptoms, take to alcohol or nar-
caties, or turn to compulsive gambling, which permits them
lo avoid reality—one turn of a card, one spin of the wheel
can make everything come out all right—they hope.

CONFIDENTIAL TO LISA: I don't think he was “con-
fessing.” [ think he was BRAGGING. (Or, possibly, lying.)
