. Ten years ago my son
stopped talking to my
daughter. She did ‘some-
thing he did not approve
of. Both were adults at

the time. Shewas una *'

which she had been ~

to drop in to visit a rela- -
tive and he was present,
he would leave immedi-
vately, making no effort
to mask his ‘reason for
the hasty departure. He
went so far as to change
churches to avoid run-
ning into her. Since the
estrangement our family
has been unable to get to-
gether for birthdays,
anniversaries or holi-
days. His stubbornness
has been the source of
many discussions.

Two yearsi:agu my
daughter decided ‘she
had had enough of her
brother's hateful treat-
ment and decided io con-
front him. She wanted to
know exactly why he was
so furlous with her, hop-
ing to talk it out and
reconcile. He flew into a
rage, cursed, carried on'
like a maniac and ran
out of the house, slam-
ming the duor behind
