Carolyn Hax: One daughter's wedding slips through cracks of another's divorce

Dear Carolyn: I have five children, two daughters. 'Lynn' is 40, and 'Emma' is 29. Lynn got married 15 years ago, and since she was the first bride of the younger generation, a big fuss was made over her wedding by me, my two sisters and especially my mother. Emma is getting married next month, but since she is the fifth and last bride in our family, it's not as big a deal. That's the way it was in the previous generation, too, because this happened to my sister, the sixth bride that time around.

He Took My Story, So I Made a New One

Three times a day, my friend called. 'I am not capable of maintaining relationships,' I said. 'No,' she said, 'he was not capable of being honest.' My 60-year-old husband had told me out of the blue that he wanted a divorce so he could find someone with whom he could start a family of his own. And then he left. I was shocked. Nothing about this had ever come up in the decade we had been together. He was my second husband. I already had children from my first marriage. Randy listened as I described our latest conversation in minute detail. She lived in Boston; I was in New Hampshire. This was our afternoon call, and I heard an ambulance siren through the phone. At my end was the sound of noisy, mating, insistent birds — it was spring. 'How could I have missed his unhappiness?' I said. 'I'm a therapist.' 'Even you can't mind-read,' she said. 'He was a master at hiding.' Randy is as fast a talker as I am, and her hair is as curly as mine. During this time, she was endlessly patient as I told identical stories over and over and over. All I wanted to do was not see anyone, not talk to anyone. In the weeks after my husband left, my immediate back story was that I was unlovable — an ancient tale rooted in childhood, and I was stunned by its force as it spewed from the depths.
