Listening the Second Time



Dr. Laura, 

I called you recently questioning if I was being "reasonable or irresponsible" in how I was communicating with my 28-year-old daughter. I have to say, THANK YOU! Thank God for Podcasting. I had no idea a person could go brain dead when talking you you....WRONG!! When I heard my call play back, I said to myself "What an idiot, does he hear what he is asking?" I just want to say THANK YOU! Not only did it click when listening, it was very matter of fact on what I needed to do next. I loved most your brief commentary you said after you hung up - "Did he really just ask me that stupid of a question" when I commented about her being out of state. 

Bottom line is I have listened to you non-stop since introduced to you. I cannot say I disagree with anything after really thinking about it more, and your advice to me at least helped my other adult kids and my wife. My daughter simply needs to seek the help she needs before we can even talk about starting fresh. It is her decision now, and I hope she makes the right one, but I would not have heard you as clear as I did had I not listened to it again - You're amazing.  Thanks for never backing down on saying it like it is. For me, I guess "Stupid is as stupid does" 

Joe
