0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM.
0:10.0	I'm one 11 Amy. Welcome to the program. Hi, Dr. Laura. Thank you for taking my call. Thank you. What's up?
0:19.0	All right. I am, I am 50 years old. I am a divorce woman who has been remarried. I have two adult children and I married a limp dick 25 years ago.
0:37.0	I have two brothers who are both adult alcoholic. And the reason for my call is that I have a mother who, to be honest, never misses an opportunity to tolerate stupidity.
0:58.0	And she tolerated this with my brothers growing up, tolerated it as adults, and tolerates the actions and behaviors of my ex-husband.
1:11.0	And the reason I am calling is that she chooses to continue to have a relationship with my ex-husband, you know, on a very friendly basis phone call, they'll meet on occasion for dinner and continues to have this relationship.
1:27.0	In the meantime, I have remarried a complete rock, a very solid man. And my first allegiance is to my children and to him, my adult kids and to him.
1:41.0	And my question to you, Dr. Laura, is I really am struggling with the relationship that my mom continues to have with my ex-husband. And I could really use some advice.
1:54.0	Okay, I'm from Brooklyn, which Manhattan, New York is close to New Jersey, so my answer is, forget about it. I didn't do that good enough.
2:05.0	Forget about it.
2:07.0	Yeah, that's my answer. You're not going to make any headway with it. You have a good life. Your mother is part of the reason your brothers are drunk.
2:18.0	That's it. There's nothing you can do about it. You have to forget about it. In other words, leave her in the past of your mind. Have very little contact. And don't worry about it. Your ex-husband and your mother make a good pair.
2:36.0	Don't you understand? She likes controlling men. And they all turn into lymph dicks. Drunks.
2:48.0	Very well said, Dr. Laura. Thank you.
2:52.0	I mean, she's so happy you divorced him that she can have him now.
2:58.0	That is so true. That is so I have been marinating in there for two months. And I am so glad I told her to call you.
3:07.0	Now, say the secret word that I just gave you. Come on.
3:12.0	Forget about it.
3:14.0	Yeah, baby.
3:17.0	Now question. One quick question, Dr. Laura. You said minimal contact. That's with my mother, correct?
3:24.0	All right. I appreciate your advice. You are one and a million. Thank you.
3:31.0	All right. My number 1-800-375-2872.
