Changing The Course of My Life


Dr. Laura:

You kept me focused years ago, while I drove an hour every night for three months to see my critically ill mother in the hospital.  In addition to that stress, I was also going through infertility treatments.  I replayed a thousand times in my mind what I heard you say on the radio:  "Why have babies and turn them over for someone else to raise them?"  Guiding and nurturing should solely be the parents' responsibility, especially in the early years.

I took that to heart when I finally got pregnant.  Up to that point, I worked a full time job, plus another 20 hours at a part-time job that included weekends.  At the end of the pregnancy, I considered keeping one or even both jobs, but remembered your teaching that there is no greater responsibility than raising your own children, so I made the right decision, thanks to you.

I quote you time and again to new parents.  Thank you for really changing the course of my life.

Tammy
