Welcome everyone to Family Talk. It's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute, supported by listeners just like you.

I'm Dr. James Dobson, and I'm thrilled that you've joined us.

Well, welcome to Family Talk, the broadcast ministry of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Roger Marsh.

If you're a mom, well, this is your week.

So let me ask you a question.

Do you ever feel like you're running on empty?

Like, no matter how much you give, it's still never quite enough?

Well, on today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson sits down with his longtime friends,

Rob and Diane Parsons, to talk about the real struggles mom's face, from guilt to exhaustion,

to feeling invisible.

Diane's own journey through a dark season of depression gave her a heart for encouraging

other mothers as well.

So let's join the

conversation right now on today's edition of Family Talk. I am really pleased to have my good

friends with me again. At least Rob Parsons has been here before. His wife, Diane, has not. And it is just

really neat to have them here. They're both in jet lag. They'll probably go to sleep and just

fall over here. But other than talking funny, these are special people. Rob and Diane, how nice to have you here. Thank you. Wonderful to be here.

Thank you. I remember meeting with you in the very early days when we agreed that I was not needed

to come to London or to the UK. Why not have somebody there that the people in that country know and trust?

And Rob stepped up to the plate, left, I'm sure, a lucrative assignment and started this

ministry that God has blessed. Rob, looking back on it, you must be excited.
