Your husband, if he is at all like others that I've known (hundreds of them) is probably a very fine person, sensitive, perceptive and loving. He needs understanding not condemnation. He probably is not directly responsible of his own volition for feeling as he does. Equally important is the fact that he can't stop feeling that way just because you may de- mand it. It is an inner need that seeks fulfillment openly or in secret it is there. As a nurse you are trained to be compassionate for those in physical need. Is there any reason for you to be less so to those in emo- tional need? I hope that my efforts will help you.

P.S. I take the liberty of enclosing a data sheet on myself which is sent to those groups that want me to appear before them. I send it to you just by way of showing that I am not "some kind of a nut" and that I have done a few things in the world. If I have been able to open your heart and help your family a bit then I've done one more piece of good in my life time. I sincerely hope so.

SHARE'N'SHARE-I LIKE by Lil

After we were married

I needed much new clothes.

I am a dressy woman.

You know... I'm one of those! Who hasn't got a stitch to wear!"

I moaned. My husband smiled. "Open up those three big trunks." He said. I did . . . went wild!

Such lovely things . . . all gossamer! . . .

To warm a foolish girl.

I got excited, far too much.

My head was in a whirl.

But even more delighted

Was I when he informed me,

"My wardrobe's thrice as big as yours.

"We'll share ours." How THAT warmed me!
