Dr. Laura,

Your daily emails with inspirational quotes give me so much more than you can imagine to survive the day and make courageous decisions.

One of those decisions was to write off extended family. They were destroying my marriage and the relationships I have with my children. They were too intrusive. They went against everything I was doing to raise my daughter to become a well adjusted woman. My parents are very controlling and have raised all 5 of their children to be just that, children!

I wanted to grow up and had to step away, or else my two sons wouldn't have the chance to become men. We have enough boys in men's bodies in the world and I refuse to add two more to it. In the beginning, it was hard. When you know and I mean really know you are doing the right thing...No matter how hard it is, you JUST DO IT. Especially when your children are affected.

I just wanted you to know it hasn't been easy but it's been one of the best and grown-up decisions I have made in my life. Thank you Dr. Laura for all your common sense support. You are the best!

Sarah
