Dear Dr. Laura, 

Your advice to divorced parents waiting until their children are up and out of the home before remarrying is absolutely spot on! I planned my divorce for 8 years until my youngest reached the age of 18 and remained single until she was out of the house without uttering a word. I kept active with my children: team mom for two teams at the same time, schoolwork, library, the beach etc., and loved every minute of it. I kept strong in my resolution by imagining seeing my kids on and off and not being able to supervise and love them every day while they would be their father. They were, my top priority - not my love life. My children are all good human beings, college graduates, successful careers, and families of their own. 

I have been happily married for 10 years now. I am glad I waited! Thank you for informing your listeners that mothering means selflessness to the 10th power.
