That is a bit ...Anonymous, I had never caught that. That is a bit funny. In fairness, when she tells people not to take in their adult children, she's usually referring to druggies, people who are soon to be released from prison, or someone who is struggling financially. I've heard her tell people to take in their son- or daughter-in-law with their grandchildren if their own child abandoned the family, and disown their own adult child ("I'm doing to you what you have done to your child.") If a caller were to call and say "My daughter is leaving her do-nothing video-game-playing husband" Dr. Laura would probably tell the caller to take her in. If the person being left is violent, she might advise NOT taking them in for safety reasons, but rather sending them to a shelter.<br /><br />She had to advise the caller. She can't advise someone who isn't calling. This explains many of the seeming contradictions in her advice. For example, she'll tell a guy who is cheating on his wife that he's being scummy, but it the wife were the person calling, and the guy was otherwise a good husband, she's likely to tell the wife she needs to stop neglecting her husband.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136254628511801417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917394.post-79449721287397514552015-12-06T14:47:59.719-08:002015-12-06T14:47:59.719-08:00This was great.
