You Were My Guide

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
