Time now for a refresher from my Dr Laura Call of the Day archives.

Remember you can hear my live radio program weekdays, 2 to 5 p.m.

Eastern time on Serious XM Triumph 2011.

Cynthia, welcome to the program.

Thank you, Dr. Laura, thank you for accepting my call.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Dr. Laura, thank you for accepting my call. I am a second to third time caller. I listen to you for

well over 40 years. I was telling your screen or though that I had just gotten into my car from work and

everything from five o'clock in the morning and there's a young lady on here

crying and I listen to you every every day.

But it just serves my spirit so that women and some men but I see that more women they're willing to settle

knowing that the white son of mistreat you or treat you like shit. You know? We came into the world by

ourselves and we're going to leave by ourselves.

Women pick up, pick yourselves up and have poor self-esteem.

You don't have to settle. You'd rather be happy.

I have 54 years old, I don't care if I ever get married again. I'm happy with me and I love me and peace of mind and sanity is worth a lot versus being down and out. I dated this guy six years. We're listening

Dr Laura. He says I got up like her, she's real mean. I said Dr Laura is a true-rich

woman. She could be brash, but she's going to bring it full circle, you know, and I open my own eyes and I realized, wait, I had a better job than him and he was mad and upset with me because I had things better than him my

lifestyle my children I was a single parent of three he was a single parents and one of

those people that go from house to house, a man whor?

And you open my eyes to all of this.

What? Well, I am very appreciative of your call and thank you very much.

Keep up the good work and keep encouraging us because we need you as a woman. These ladies
