This is Dr. Laura. The call of the day is coming right up after this message from my sponsor.

I wanted to know why some people who get COVID-19 get it so bad.

I found out it may be because they have a high risk factor, such as heart disease, diabetes,

being overweight, smoking, and asthma. Even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your

risk of COVID-19 turning severe. So if you're at high risk and test positive,

there are things you can do, like asking your health care provider if an authorized

oral treatment is right for you. Learn about an option at treatcovid19.com. This message is

sponsored by Pfizer. Thank you for listening to this edition of the call of the day. Be sure to

listen to my program Monday through Friday now heard on Sirius XM Triumph 2011. Rachel, welcome

to the program. Hi Dr. Laura, I just want to first thank you for being so encouraging,

for being a state-home mother and your husband's girlfriend. I've been just starting listening

last about six months and I got to say that your advice has been wonderful. Sorry, I'm on

nervous. I was just had a question. I have a difficulty listening to my husband because I do,

I really do try to be a girlfriend. So when there's issues that he has that he wants to express,

he's very kind doing so. But I get defensive, I have a hard time, I guess, listening to my

wife because you're not being loving. You're being a little girl with her daddy. Listen to me,

don't go on yet. I know what your question is. I'm psychic. Remember I'm psychic. That's a joke.

But just on what you've said so far, you're not being loving. When you're listening to him,

you're not wanting to learn a damn thing to make him happy. You're busy being...

You're busy worrying that your dad is going to send you to your room without supper or not love you.

I need you to absorb that. For what? For having an honest emotion? Never apologize for that.

You just need to sit with that for a moment. So you can distinguish between waiting for your dad,
