Keeping My Priorities Straight
11/19/2015


My ex-husband filed for divorce 20 years ago, and I realized afterward that I was the one who pushed him away.  Then I started listening to your program, and I've learned a few things, like not saying negative things about their dad to my sons, not complaining about his not paying alimony or child support, and for the best interest of my boys, not to date until they turn 18.   

Since then, both my sons have grown up to be solid young men.  They've married, have wives they love dearly, lovely families and good jobs.  I'm currently taking care of my 90 year old parents full time.  I did meet a man several years ago, and while we date, we aren't living together and haven't married.  He understands that right now, my parents are my #1 priority.

Dr. Laura, if not for you, I know I would have made many regretful choices.  My sons' and my life most likely would be a mess.  Your advice has kept me away from trouble and I can't thank you enough.
