I've heard her talk about a lot of relationship issues, and in many of them, she is right. However, she can be very harsh. Also, she doesn't seem to be very patient when it comes to listening to the callers. She frequently interrupts while they are trying to get to the point.

Seriously, how can you know if a family is "over" someone's suicide in a 3 minute phonecall! Dr. Laura didn't speak to any of the other family members about it, how could she have come to that conclusion?

After listening to her for a few years off and on, her basic life philosophy is: Don't marry a jerk, don't have kids with a jerk, don't shack up with a jerk, and if you divorce a jerk, don't date again until your kids are grown, or you are a jerk!

How's that workin' for ya Dr. Phil?
