Dear Dr. Laura, 

I found you while becoming a stay-at-home mom 9 years ago to our son. 

My grandparents raised me and never talked to me about life. Due to my difficult childhood, I was questioning if I had what it took to be a good mom. Because of YOU, I have a voice, a very strong voice. Because of YOUR guidance, I have become a wonderful mom and my husband's girlfriend. My son comes to me about everything. We talk about sex, worldly events, how to treat people, giving back to the community, his future, what we expect out of him. He is in public school and I am currently PTA President. I have always volunteered, been seen and available, to him and to the school. 

My 12 year marriage only gets better with time. I chose wisely and I constantly think "treat kindly" and "is this the hill I want to die on." Or as my husband says "Is this the ant hill you want to kick". I know my husband has lots of stress being a business owner. Life is better when I great him with a smile and a hug, it sets the mood of the evening. Creating a relaxing environment for my husband and my child is a gift that keeps on giving and that I am in charge of. 

Dr. Laura, thank you for being the second mom I never had, giving me a voice, giving me guidance to be the matriarch of my family. You will be getting my homemade Mother's Day card next year. 

Sincerely, 

Jennifer
