What’s Frontotemporal Degeneration? Also known as FTD, it is the most common form of dementia for adults under age 60. Unfortunately, my peep, Sue, knows all about FTD because she lost her husband to it.

Men, close your eyes and picture yourself leaving Rapunzel up in her tower to cut off her own hair and use it as a rope to climb down to freedom. Could you do it? I know you’re born with a biological desire to rescue a damsel in distress. That’s natural and normal and even good in many cases. Guys want to fix and rescue. But the truth is that it’s not always possible.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a glass half-full or a glass half-empty person. You immediately get an image in your mind and understand what I’m trying to convey when I reference a glass and its state of fullness. Visualization is my favorite way to make a point.

Of all life’s many challenges, having a child with serious health or developmental issues is among the worst. Parents can be consumed with worry, fear and a sense of dread. On top of that, social beings naturally compare themselves to others… mothers are always gauging their own children’s successes or failures against the kids of friends and family. When your child is not able to grow and learn like others, it’s heartbreaking.

One of the biggest problems I've run across in recent years of taking calls on the Dr. Laura Program is of adult, married, (mostly) women who allow themselves to be emotionally drained by their demanding, needy, mentally unstable mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers. Those calls infuriate me.

Today’s Deep Dive is inspired by a special hour of the Dr. Laura program when I invited adult children to call in and talk about how their parents’ infidelity affected their family and their lives.
