Dear Ann Landers: My
husband and 1 divorced 21
months ago. During our mar-
riage he was verbally abusive
and did not support me or our
two children. | had to go to
work because “Jimmy's” pay-
check never seemed to make
it home. On a recent holiday,
Jimmy decided to take the
two kids up north for a four-
day vacation. They ended up
at my brother's house. My
brother and his wife wel-
comed them with open arms
There happened to be another
house guest there at the same
time. She was the wife of my
brother's best friend. This was
totally unplanned, they said.

When the kids came back
home, the told me their dad
was drunk the entire weekend
and that he and the lady house
guest did a lot of hugging and
hand-holding. (Our older
child made it clear that they
were together day and night.)

I am outraged that my
brother permitted this to go
on in his home in the pres-
ence of my children. I am
also disgusted with his wife
for not intervening.

My brother does not
understand why I am so
upset. Will you explain the
facts of life 'to these idiots? -
Mad as Hell in Chicago.

Dear Chicago: Apparently,
simce you and Jimmy are
divorced, your brother and his
wife didn't feel it was neces-
Sary to police the action. I
agree, however, that they did
not use good judgment.

Since the female guest
was the wife of your broth-
er's best friend, he should
have instructed them to cool
it while under his roof.

You give me no clue as to
the ages of the children, but
it is apparent they are old
enough to know something
was cooking with their dad
and the married woman.

* Is there enough room in the
trunk for groceries, and other typical
