Hi Dr. Laura,

I was listening today and all I seemed to hear was call after call from unhappy wives in their second marriages, with kids. I was one of those kids.

My mom died when I was 9. My dad remarried when I was 12, to a woman with 4 of her own kids. I met them all at the wedding. Needless to say, it sucked. That one lasted 3 years. My brother, sister and I got our stuff and moved. We had a great time when it was just the 4 of us. My Brother went off to school, my sister moved out, then dad and I married another lady. She had 2 kids and it only lasted 6 months. Dad and I packed our stuff and moved out. It was just my dad and I for while. After a short time he began to talk about marrying again.

By that time, I had enough and moved out of the house. I got a job and went to college! I am now 58. My dad and sister have passed away. I listen to you because I love you. I listen to these idiots that call after dragging their kids thru hell and I scream a little inside.

Thank you for spreading the word to take care of your children before thinking about dating! 

Biggest Fan,

Jennifer
