Okay, we got an email to send an email to Dr. Laura at Dr. Laura.com.

And evidently during the past two hours, you guys have been emailing like crazy.

So I'm just going backwards here.

I want to call. Others probably share my dilemma. My problem is not new. And from previous callers,

I believe I know your response. You will probably tell me to remain polite and know that I am loved by my biological children and family.

That is what I am doing. Short version and what I want to do, but I won't because it won't change anything. I want to scream and be angry and ask them why they treat me like this, but that will solve nothing.

That's true. But all the way along being mistreated if you had spoken up each time, that would

have done something. But holding it in and then screaming over one, two, three, four, five,

20 years, you're right. It does absolutely nothing. I'm 72. I have two children from my first

marriage. He and I were together 10 years. I was full-time mom until we nearly became homeless,

and I would not let that happen. Our divorce took four years. He filed, I didn't want it, really. He was angry with me

for working to make our life better after he gave up his teaching career. By then, we were living

in a single wide trailer parked in someone else's backyard, and that was not acceptable to me.

He had a master's degree

in teaching credentials, perfectly capable of getting a job and earning a living for us. Was he

tired, lazy, depressed, whatever his reason? He did not provide enough to feed our family.

And he's the one who filed for divorce. Geez, woman.
