Dear Dorothy Dix helps a unhappy wife choose her path
Dorothy Dix counsels a 35 year old mother torn between a stable marriage and a flirtation with freedom. She warns that leaving her husband and children brings poverty and guilt, urging she weigh family against desire and consider the lifelong impact on her kids. A second reader asks about widows finding happiness, with Dix noting many can find new joy if they seek it and avoid pessimism.
