Dr. Laura,
When did women became so dramatic about their spouses, feeling they are not loved and appreciated?
My parents had me later in life and have been for over twenty years God bless them. I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters but we lost our oldest sister to cancer a few years back. My mother was a farmer's wife which meant she raised her kids and worked on the farm at the same time. She cooked at least 2 maybe 3 meals a day for 8 people. She would take care of the books and found time to can 500 to 700 jars a year of fresh vegetables and fruits. During the time of having her babies she beat cancer and had a kidney removed never complaining. Once when we were in our late teens my brother's car trunk was open during a bad blizzard. In the early morning, she went out there to shut it, slammed her thumb in the trunk, and had to pull with all her strength to get it out. She then waited for us to wake up to take her to the hospital because she did not want to bother us - amazing woman.
She and my father knew they loved each other and that was enough. She was too busy to think about what she was lacking from him.
Anyway keep up the great work.
Your fan,
Brian
