Strength
11/03/2011

Dr. Laura,

I am a male 55 years old. I just wanted to let you know that your response and healing that you gave to Lindsey was outstanding therapy. Being a type A personality when it comes to righting a wrong I so had the desire to want to kick some rapist's butt. When your work can make a 6'2" 220 lbs. man tear up, you women are not only doing your job, but really making a difference in the world. At least you are in mine. Thank goodness I also have a type B side I received from my very loving mother.

After the week my wife and I have had, finding out my brother in law has stage IV bladder Cancer and then having to put my 16 1/2 year old Siamese cat down, I just wanted to thank you for all you do. It inspires me to suck it up, keep going in life, be the best husband, brother in law, son in law and son to my soon to be 90 year old father that I can be.

I only wish I had been listening to you in 1992 when I found out my ex-wife was cheating on me after 18 years of marriage. I did get counseling even though my ex wouldn't go with me and it became clear leaving was the right thing to do. Thank God there were no children involved as it freed me up to meet a very beautiful women inside as well as out and one who was closer to my way of thinking. i.e. Religion, morals, family first. We will be celebrating our 18th anniversary next year and I so look forward to beating my old record of marriage.

God bless you and keep up the good work,

Daryl
