Developing Good Habits
04/15/2016

Dr. Laura:

I'm 42 and a divorced mother of two teenagers.  I've followed your advice regarding being there for my kids and not jumping into relationships.  I've seen my ex-husband do the opposite and he's made a mess of his life.  Unfortunately, our children have had to deal with his bad decisions.

During all this time, I've developed a habit of "self-talk" to help guide me make the right choices.  I hear you in my head, but I talk out loud to myself to weigh all the pros and cons.  While my kids sometimes make fun of me, they know it helps, and they've seen the results of my "conversations."  

Thank you for always giving great advice.  My kids are now 17 and 13, and because of you I work daily to keep putting them first.
