  • So......painful.

    The sensation-grabbing approach of talking over, dismissing and even mocking callers has gotten worse and WORSE. So cringe. This is not the Dr Laura I liked in the 90s.

  • Nothings changed.

    Used to listen to her as a kid/young teen when my mom did on the daily commute, randomly found her pod today and man nothing changed. Empathy and emotional understanding really never has been her strong suit hey. lol

    She is just mean. She fails to adapt and she fails to grow and treat people with empathy the same way she preaches. Just rude for the sake of rude. She should honestly, in her big age, be embarrassed that she hasn’t grown. Let’s get to the bottom of your trauma Dr. Laura and why yo... more

My Marriage Plans Have Been Postponed Again
Q: What's happening in your current relationship and why do you feel stuck?
David explains he's in a five-year engagement with his partner, they have blended kids, and there's ongoing tension about ownership of space and who treats which home as 'home' without marriage. The host challenges the idea of merging families without formal commitment and highlights potential resentment.
Navigating Book Club Drama
Q: Hi Dr. Laura. I have a question about a book club where the host position was left open and friends didn't RSVP.
The caller expressed feeling disrespected when others didn't respond to the hosting invitation; Dr. Laura advises addressing the issue directly in the next meeting and confronting the behavior while maintaining boundaries.
Troubled Holiday Gatherings Caused by New Marriages
Q: The question for me was, what do I do?
Dr. Laura advises communicating clearly with family, setting boundaries, and possibly uninviting guests to prevent an overcrowded, chaotic gathering; she suggests prioritizing time with core family members and arranging another gathering later to accommodate everyone without overwhelming the host.
Supporting Children After a Loved One’s Suicide
Q: Should we consider grief counseling for the kids now?
Only pursue counseling if there are clear signs of distress or ongoing questions that the family can't address together, but avoid pushing therapy as a blanket solution if the children seem to be coping.
Supporting Children After a Loved One’s Suicide
Q: What did you tell the kids about what happened?
We told them that he had taken his own life and then explained why that was a difficult and painful situation, while emphasizing that it was the truth and not something to sensationalize.
