How Men Show Their Love


Good Morning Dr. Laura, 

Thank you! I say this because when I started listening to you a few years ago, you woke something up in me that I had always known and understood, but had forgotten for a few years. I had strong feminist women around me who had rattled my brain around and knocked the "men are fixers" context out of my head completely. 

I come from a family where my dad has always been a very outgoing personality. So I always knew I was loved. We all did/do. However, I am a product of a blended family that had started as an exceptionally messy divorce from my mother who used warfare to help perpetuate a skewed view of the world. 

Well, I am happy to say....you woke that part of my brain back up. I started to see this when my man, who is a naturally quiet guy who has a story too sad to tell with regards to his childhood, has a family that has very little concept of physical emotion in the first place.  He was never taught those things and got exceptionally protective of me after my best friend broke my heart. He became my champion and protector in that moment! I knew he was the love of my life already, but he truly showed emotions I had no idea he had. Since then he has stood by my side through a few very dramatic family squabbles and work issues. He essentially saving my sanity!! I have told him every day he is my hero for all he has given me.  I know how much he loves me and I will always love him! I am his girlfriend, he is my boyfriend. I credit my eyes being opened 4 years ago to you.  Once you said "men are fixers", I started to notice those "little things" and, we have been so much happier as a result. So thank you for being Mother Laura!! 

Thank you for putting up with the frustrations that you go through on air.  We are listening, we are learning. Keep up the great work!! 

Jackie
