Changing The Course
10/13/2015


Dr. Laura,

I want to thank you for serving as my surrogate mom the past 20 years. You are often the only motherly advice I receive and I want you to know that it is helping me to change the lives of my three children and my marriage for the better. My husband and I come from dysfunctional homes and have consciously chosen not to allow either of our parents contact with us or our children.

I used to feel guilty about this but when I heard you say that just because you share someone's DNA doesn't mean you have to tolerate horrible behavior, I knew what I had to do for my family. It has been 7 years and three children and I do not feel one iota of guilt for protecting my children and marriage from the unhealthy people who brought me into this world. It gives me great satisfaction knowing that my husband and I are changing the course of our children's lives for the better.

Thank you for your bluntness and honesty. The world would be a better place if more people were as frank as you and followed your wisdom. You have helped me put an end to tolerating people's crap. You also gave me the direction on how to be the best wife and mother I can be. You help change lives and families for the better.

I took your advice and still do! Thank you, Dr. Laura.
