"I'm no Dr. Laura fan, but I heard her show today and have to give her credit. She held up very well, considering.

She held up pretty well because she didn't care. She hadn't seen her mother for fourteen years because her mother was filled with "negativity."

As someone who knows what it's like to have a mother reject her, I will not be so quick to blame Laura. We do not know what went into the estrangement. Don't jump to conclusions.

Obviously you've lived a sheltered life.
I'm sure there are plenty Freepers here who has an estranged family member. It's really not all that uncommon, and your remark just rubs me the wrong way.

However, you're entitled to your opinion, as I am mine.

Please, raise your hand if you have or are an estranged family member. Thank you.
