I Don't Love You Any More


Dear Dr. Laura,

I have recently heard mothers upset when their children say, "I don't love you any more" or "I hate you" or any version thereof. My mother had the perfect response, to wit, my siblings and I only said it once to her. Upon hearing our announcement she would turn and smile at us and loving say, "But, I will always love you." And she would walk away leaving us to ponder a comeback, which we never could think of how or what to compose.
