Annie's Mailbox®, June 25
by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Dear Annie: My 28-year-old niece, "Jane," has suffered from low self-esteem and depression since she was 14. She is currently seeing a psychiatrist and taking medication for attention deficit disorder. She is "wired" on this drug. She accomplishes her assignments at her job, but sometimes takes more medication than the amount prescribed and then runs out before renewal time.

I wonder what "out and proud" is proud for? For destroying a woman's life and having no remorse about it? Calling this man cruel is an understatement. He fooled a woman, lied to her, made her marry him and took 17 years of her life only to prevent his mommy finding out he is gay? And after all those years, he still only thinks how mommy will deal with it, not a word about the poor wife who was the real victim of his horrible deception. He should be ashamed of himself, not "proud".

I couldn't help eing outraged by the letter from "Out and Proud" when I read he " got tired of the hypocrisy and the double life". I can not emphasize enough how thoughtless and crule a man wold be to marry a woman if he *knows* he is gay. Did this man even once consider how his wife must have fel all those years? If she didn't know that he was gay but sense he wasn't attracted to her she might likely have blamed herself, felt unattrative, unwanted and unloved. Did he stop to think what kind of damage this must have done to her self esteem or to her as a person? Did he think how she must havce felt after all those years to find her marriage was a sham, that she was *used* by someone who professed to love her who promised before God and everyone to "love and cherish her forever" etc etc. Marriage isn't a game and people aren't toys to be used and then tossed aside when you're done with them. It is *indescribaly* selfish of a gay man (or woman) to use someon else mererly to hide the fact they are gay because they don't have the courage to be themselves. They should think how they would feel to be used by someone like that.
