Self-Respecting Young Women
04/20/2015


Dear Dr. Laura, 

You remind me of my mom with many of the things you say. She passed away 5 years ago and I miss her terribly. She was a divorced mom for many years and taught my sister and I class and self-respect. One of the times I listened to your program, you spent a nice amount of time talking about young women who don't have self-respect. You were trying to teach them not to give it away for free. It reminded me of how my mother used to say the same thing. She would say things like "you are sexy with all your clothes on" and "it leaves more to the imagination when you don't have things hanging out". I love how open my mom was with us about men and sex and self-respect. I wish every parent would teach these important life skills to their children. I really want to thank you for taking the time to talk to women about how they should treat their bodies. 

Thank you for being brave every single day, in telling people what they need to hear and not what they want to hear. My mother was 'brutally' honest like you and it was exactly what I needed to survive in this world. I have a lot of respect for you both because you are strong women who also know how to be ladies. I love listening to your show and I listen every chance I get especially when I pick my boys up from school. Thank you for helping me be a better wife and mother. I wish I had listened to you sooner so I could have been a better daughter too. I wish I was more open with my mother with my feelings. I was always so afraid of hurting her feelings, but I know now that it would have only strengthened our relationship. Thank you for all the mothers and daughters you are helping and for all you do. 

God Bless you Dr. Laura. 

Angelica
