Dear Dr. Laura, I called you several months ago with the problem of my boyfriend making the decision to join the military without my knowledge. All I could think to do was call you and whine about how I was not okay with the decision and though it might be the right decision for him, I could not be his warrior woman. Selfishly I left him that day. About a month passed and we began to speak again, in which time he explained to me that it was a decision he had to make on his own without any outside influence. He sat me down, showed me the dvd's of what he would be doing and told me that he was doing this so we could have a future together. We had a hard relationship up until this point, but this day I saw that the boy I had been dating for two years had become a man. My man. My warrior. I am happy to tell you today Dr. Laura that I fully support him in his decision. I see that he is making the right choices for himself and for his life. We are together today and happier than ever. I have been making every effort to be the girlfriend that he will someday make into his loving, caring, nurturing, supportive, gracious, warrior woman wife that you would be proud of but mostly that he can be proud of. Thank you Dr. Laura for all you do, T.
