Plant keeps on
While,waiting for a haircut in William's
Hairstylingin Hensall, a client could get lost
in the tropical garden at the front of the shop.
Dominating the greenery is a 15 foot rubber
plantwhich has grown up the 12 foot wall and
is starting across the ceiling.
"It's the largest one i've ever grown. My
friends keep telling me to cut it back but I
want to see how far it grows; it's headed
towards the door now," says William Gibson.
Given to Mr. Gibson by a friend when it
outerew her house at seven feet, the rubber
plant has grown an additional eight feet in
five years and now leas approximately 350
leaves. Every year, it has grown about two
feet and now is held up with chains and
strings so that it won't topple over.

rubber plant (tree) is plant food everyweek
and tender loving -care, he says.
"The plant food package says to feed the
plants every four weeks but I heard on a radio
show that once a week•was better and it really
works. You don't like to be fed every four
weeks; you like to be fed daily so how, do you
think the plant would feel?"
The warmth and humidity in the hairdress-
ing shop also helps the plant to grow, says
Mr. Gibson.
Steve Hildebrand, of Hildebrand Flowers
in, Seaforth agrees.
"The hairdressing shop would give good
conditions to grow the rubber plant - lots of
steam and humidity. He'd also need lots of
luck and lots of fertilizer:'

Emotions of divorce, death
No matter how bad a marriage is. when it
ends. the divorce is like a death and everyone
involved will feel a whole gamut of emotions
before they can accept it and begin to grow
again.
About 40 Huron County women met in
Clinton last week to hear Nancy McLeod, a
counsellor at the Huron Centre for Children
and Youth, and share their feelings about
divorce. Feelings like helplessness, a sense
of failure, denial, anger and depression are
normal after any loss such as divorce, said
Ms. McLeod.
"You'll probably sense you're alone in a
way you've never been before." she said.
"It's an emotionally expensive time but you
can come through it at peace and excited
about wrong a new chapter of your fife."
Reasons for divorce are many. They
include factors such as changes in society's
values, an inability to communicate, mobility
and the isolation from an extended family
that results and generational patterns.
"Some women have terrible struggles in
marriage such as alcoholism and battering.
We go Into a relationship hoping we're going
to be happy but sometimes it doesn't work out
that way."
How many people go into marriage can be a
cause of future problems. said Ms. McLeod.
"We have to teach people what to expect in
marriage. We spend far too much time on
white dresses, photographers and parties,"
said one woman.
"i think we're really conditioned to gear
ourselves to marriage. We're told to expect a
man in shining armor and to do anything to
please and satisfy him. So when we're
courting, we don't show our real selves so he
won't -get angry and we'll be able to keep him.
When we're married, we suddenly realize we
don't know each other." said Ms. McLeod.
In adulthood, people start to ask them-
selves questions such as who am I? How
much time do I have left? How alive and vital
or stagnant do i feel? Are my goals and values
being invigorated or violated by my present
living arrangements? Answering these
questions can lead to a need to change and
grow.
As both partners grow at deferent rates,
conflicts arise which can further strengthen
the relationship if the couple works at solving
them or can destroy it.
I'm in noway suggesting that marriage is
a bad institution. I think there's trenfendous

hope for it but we're changing so quickly and
so radically that we have to look at it," she
said.
Once the decision is made to divorce, those
involved go through a mourning process
similar to that after a death. There ate the
stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depres-
sion and acceptance which can take several
years. Going through the process alone or
with counselling helps people to heal faster,
says Ms. McLeod.
Reactions from friends who are also trying
to deal with the divorce are sometimes hard to
understand.
"Once you're divorced, you're suddenly
seen as the scarlet woman and get all these
advances from friends' husbands er friends
will act very superior or be exceedingly
interested in all the gore}, details of the
divorce. But, you have to remember that your
friends' reactions are out of their own hurt
and pain, not because they are bad people,"
said Ms. McLeod.
The refugees of, a split family are the
children who need all the love they can get to
get through the divorce.
"No matter how bad the relationship is, the
kids will elect to keep the marriage together
but there are lots of benefits for them when a
bad marriages ends and it's important to let
them know that," she said:
Even worse than a high conflict marriage is
a high conflict divorce for children so it's best
to refrain from'"fighting in front of the
children. if children are old enough to talk
similar
and understand "I love you', adults should
try to prepare them for a,split.
Mistakes parents make during a divorce
are denying access of the other parent to the
children', putting the children in the middle,
making them choose between parents,
running messages through the children and
speaking badly of the other parent.
"You are an adult and the break-up may
have been no one's fault but least of all -your
child's fault," she said.
Because they feel abandoned at a time of
divorce, children need nurturing from both
parents. Ms. McLeod said that parents
should obey the.three mnstn'ts during a
divorce - they>.iinitst 'tlet the children think
the divorce is their fault, they mustn't let the
children think theft' parents dolitt love them
and they mustn'trun down the other parent.
One situation that could hapn if a parent
runs down the other is if at a later time the
parent says, "You're just like your father/ .
mother," the child will associate all the
previous comments with himself and feel
unloved.
Children who already feel comfortable
talking to their parents will have an easier
time of divorce since they can communicate
their feelings and fears in the life crisis, she
said.
Couples with children who are going
througha divorce or any crisis can find
counselling at the Huron Centre for Children
and Youth. A list of counsellors in the area is
available to those without children.
