at dr laura dot com julie welcome to the program hi dr laura it is such an honor to talk to you um if i could

first take a moment just to thank you. I've listened to you for many

years. And when my children were, when I started having my family, you were really the voice of reason

that said to me what I needed to hear. And so when my third baby was born, I quit my corporate

job, quit traveling, took care of my kids. That's actually when my third baby was born, I quit my corporate job, quit traveling, took care of my kids.

That's actually when my husband's career really took off, and it all worked out so well that we had three more.

So if you're ever having a bad day, just know that there are six super ugly kids out there that had a much better childhood because of you and I really

thank you for that.

I'm hoping today that you can I'm hoping you can help me sort out my relationship with my parents.

I grew up in a family older older sister, older brother, and myself.

And I would say really for our entire lives, my parents valued the family business more than the family itself.

My dad is a very domineering person.

He always has to be right.

How do you know they valued the business more than their family? How does a kid actually know that?

I guess I didn't really recognize it as a kid, but just when I look back at the way they prioritize their time and the things that mattered to them,

the things that were a big deal to them, all revolved around that.

And we were valued if we had an interest in that and otherwise not so much.

Okay, go ahead.
