2. Dear Abby,

My husband is a doctor. He has always been respected by the people in our town. People frequently tell me that he is patient and understanding. On the other hand, since he is so busy taking care of other people, he doesn't spend time with his own family. Sometimes I don't see him for days. Our children have missed their father a lot. He has missed their birthday parties, school programs and special events. During the most important events of our lives, patients have called and he has gone. When I have complained, he has said, "Don't be selfish!" What am I going to do? 27
