FLAGSTONE • Fine Quality • Low Prices 312-742-6080 Call for delivered prices FOX RIVER STONE CO. South Elgin, 111. T)he C lime Freda has degenerated into a female Silas Marner and Scfooge, combined. She is literally a psychiatric case. But the trouble all started 33years ago when her parents caused her • to feel rejected. In panic, she then became unduly possessive and mercenary, using money as a symbol of the power she had lost. Parents, beware! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE G-525; Freda B., aged 36, is a problem wife. f'Dr. Crane," her younger' brother began, "Freda is 3 years older than I am. "But as far back as I can remember, she has been the most greedy, selfish person I ever knew. "Silas Marner and Scrooge would be generous spendthrifts when compared with Freda. "She married a professional man and has four children. "But she is heading for a divorce since she pinches pennies and has made a fetish of money. "Even my dad and mother are soured on her and she never has had any close girl friends, either before or after her marriage. "What could make a young woman such a miserly skinflint?" LOVE REJECTION Freda was an "only" child for 3 years, and dominated the family spotlight. Besides, she had also a married aunt whose own daughter had died in infancy. • This aunt then became a second mother to Freda and catered to her every whim. Then Freda's absolute monarchy viaa suddenly rent s= sunder by the arrival of what Freda regarded as a usurper to her throne. For Freda's parents showered the new baby boy with excessive love and attention. And Freda wasn't prepared in advance for theadvent of the new baby. For Freda was sent to spend a week with her doting aunt. When she returned, the baby Cftpyihad "taken over" herkjpgr. dom! So Freda felt emotionally rejected, cast aside and demoted. You readers can imagine the turmoil even in an adult prima donna who would be demoted to the chorus without any warning. Well, Freda was almost berserk! For kiddies can undergo severe emotional upheavals even though adults often fail to realize it. Freda's little brother not only snatched Freda's place in the affection of her daddy and mother, but even began to take over her ioys as soon as he was able to crawl. So Freda became abnormally possessive. For when a person is cast adrift emotionally from his former secure love anchorage, he often falls back upon money, possessions andproperty as symbols of security.' Many miserly husbands thus are merely terrified mates who fear they have lost the love of their wives, due to their growing platonic condition. So these husbands then take a strangle hold on the family purse strings. Freda's panic at the age of 3 may become a worse psychiatric problem as she reaches that dreaded age of 40 when she will worry lest the menopause destroy her remaining physical appeal to her husband. 5 Ih * fact, advancing age usually makes people miserly as a means of hanging on to "Power , symbols" such as $$$$. So send for my 200-point, "Tests for Parents" enclosing a long stamped, return envelope plus 20 cents, and beware of harming your children, even unwittinelv!
