Dearest Dr. Laura:
I spent the first 40 years of my life selfishly living only for career success and material gain. I was a radical feminist, and had no understanding at all of relationships. When I got pregnant out of wedlock, I thought nothing of aborting "it." "It" was inconvenient. I treated men as if they existed to serve me and my agenda.
Then I stumbled on your show 20 years ago, and I thought you were smart, but nuts. But I couldn't stop listening, and slowly but surely, you altered my brain chemistry completely. For the first time in my life, I grasped what morals and ethics were and I wanted to have them. I wanted to live for someone else, but it was very late in the game. Then an old college boyfriend reached out, and we reconnected. I realized what a good man I had callously thrown away many years ago, and I realized that producing a baby myself was not a good plan. We married and then adopted a baby boy at birth. I became a stay-at-home mom and while it was uncomfortable at first, you were there to always guide me.
My little baby boy is now 15 years old and I get to say "I am my kid's mom" and "my husband's girlfriend." My life was a train wreck until I found you, Dr. Laura. To this day, I am a faithful, grateful listener. Thank you for your clarity, guidance, and wisdom.
With much love,
Nancy
