This ordeal has angered me so much that it is consuming my life Can you provide some way to get past' this? — Mrs Ignatz in Ohio DEAR OHIO: After all these years this issue is too petty to be consuming your life Your anger is out of proportion to the situation It makes perfect sense that his ex would want her son to have the same last name she has What he tells his children about their heritage is his business He knows the truth and they probably will too A shared name does not take anything away from your status as Ignatz’s wife or your daughter’s identity as a member of his family If you cannot let this go please talk to a therapist who will help you gain perspective and get some sleep Sugar DEAR ANNIE: I have several chronic illnesses and am on disability I rarely discuss my condition with my family and never with friends It is bad enough being sick and I do not want to make my problems the topic of conversation Recently I overheard my husband on the phone with his mother He was rummaging through the medicine cabinet and discussing my various medications with her This made me incredibly angry He already tells her every detail of his life but this is my private business My husband says his mother is only trying to help She is coming for a visit soon and I insisted my husband tell her that my health is not to be part of the conversation but I’m afraid she will bring it up anyway Tell me am I overreacting? Ami what do I do if she brings it up? — Outraged in Cambridge Mass DEAR OUTRAGED: You don’t have to talk about your health if you don’t want to but it is pointless to pretend Mama doesn’t know When she brings it up (and she will) simply say “I know you mean well Mom but I don’t care to discuss it’’ Then change the subject Meanwhile put a lid on your husband’s big mouth He heeds to understand that giving out your personal information without your perAi fA mission is a breach of trust that undermines the ex-wi- ’ Newspaper Enterprise Association ' V ' ' - ‘7 f DEAR DR GOTH Is there a relation between epilepsy and narcolepsy?
