[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I am not a troll and as I nust stated above I found this book interesting and made me aware to be less self centered snd more grateful in my marriage. I live in US but I am originally from an other country so when I picked up the book I didn’t know about the controversies and the cultural wars surronding the author. I just wanted a feed back from other women who read the book because, until not long ago, I could have published a post full of complaints about my spouse too. This book is helping ME and MY marriage. Maybe could help somebody else too but instead of a respectful discussion about the content of the book, the thread is mutating in a very aggressive dems vs reps war. I don’t care about politics, or taking sides; this is not what this thread was intended to be!![/quote]

I hear you op. I get it.  People on DCUM can’t help themselves.  We live in an “outrage culture”, and if people see an opportunity to be offended, they’ll take it.

I used to listen to Dr Laura, way back in the day, and read her books.  I think there’s a lot of good info in her books and I certainly found some nuggets of wisdom.   DCUM just isn’t capable of separating the work from the person or discussing this sort of thing, unfortunately.  Sorry about that.  [/quote]
I listened to her back in the early 90s.  Is that what you mean by "back in the day"?  I basically hatel-listened back then too.  She was always self-righteous and full of awful advice, most of which she didn't follow herself.[/quote]
+1 she's a known right wing nutjob and pushes "conservative" values that she doesn't even follow herself.

This. Here's her stellar marital history. WHat a joke!

From wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Schlessinger

Schlessinger met and married Michael F. Rudolph, a dentist, in 1972 while she was attending Columbia University. The couple had a Unitarian ceremony.[69] Separating from Rudolph, Schlessinger moved to Encino, California in 1975, when she obtained a job in the science department at the University of Southern California.[70] Their divorce was finalized in 1977.[71]

In 1975, while working in the labs at USC, she met Lewis G. Bishop, a professor of neurophysiology, who was married and the father of three children.[2][72] [b]Bishop separated from his wife and began living with Schlessinger the same year.[73] Schlessinger has vociferously proclaimed her disapproval of unwed couples "shacking up" and having children out of wedlock. According to her friend Shelly Herman, "Laura lived with Lew for about nine years before she was married to him."[2] His divorce was final in 1979.[74] Bishop and Schlessinger married in 1985.[75] Herman says that Schlessinger told her she was pregnant at the time, which Herman recalls as "particularly joyful because of the happy news."[/b][2] Schlessinger's only child, a son named Deryk, was born in November 1985.[76] Schlessinger's husband died November 2, 2015, after being ill for 1.5 years.[citation needed]

Schlessinger was estranged from her sister for years, and many thought she was an only child.[2] She had not spoken to her mother for 18[77] to 20 years before her mother's death in 2002 from heart disease.[15] Her mother's remains were found in her Beverly Hills condo about two months after she died,[78][79] and lay unclaimed for some time in the Los Angeles morgue before Schlessinger had them picked up for burial.[80] Concerning the day that she heard about her mother's death, she said: "Apparently she had no friends and none of her neighbors were close, so nobody even noticed! How sad."[15][dead link][80] In 2006, Schlessinger wrote that she had been attacked in a "vulgar, inhumane manner by media types" because of the circumstances surrounding her mother's death, and that false allegations had been made that she was unfit to dispense advice based on family values. She said that she had not mourned the deaths of either of her parents because she had no emotional bond to them.[13][15][/quote]
