Judie is in her fourth marriage to a man in his fifth, and growing tension between her husband and her mother is creating significant conflict. Got a dilemma? Call **1-800-DR-LAURA /…
Dr. Laura SchlessingerHostHi, Dr. Laura.
I've been a longtime listener.
I've been a longtime listener, uh, like since I've been a teenager.
I've read a bunch of your books and, uh-
...
I'm really excited to talk to you today because I feel this is a pretty complicated situation going on, not only with myself, my husband, but my mother, who moved in with us last year in October due to my father passing away, um, in 2024 of June.
So I don't know where I should start.
I know-
Why did your father, why does your father's passing mean your mother has to live with you? When I became widowed-
Well, my mother-
...
Be- she was.
She was in her own home, and then it got to the point where my mother had lived with my father and was married for 65 years, and she didn't have the abilities to really handle the bills and all that 'cause he did all that.
Um, and so then what happened was between my sister and I, there's only my sister and I, um, the suggestion was put the house up for sale.
She put the house up for sale.
It got sold real quick, and to move in with me, but not because I asked her to move in.
My husband actually, uh, stood up and said, "Yeah, let's have your mom come down here and move in with us." So, uh, my husband and I had only been married for three years at that point, and she moved in with us, um, last year October.
And what's happening now is my mom is one of these people where her love language or her caringness is shown through doing things.
Like she likes to plant a lot of flowers.
She likes to keep the house clean.
She likes to wash the dishes.
