To the first caller--I was in your position for over 45 years with my mom and sister. I finally had to alienate myself from both of them. I still miss and love them but cannot return to them. Once I realized that my mom and sister have no control over them emotions and behaviors, I knew I had to extricate myself from them. Carlos, create a new family with your friends. It is doable but different. Some people will not understand your decision, but it is your life. I've felt judged, but I do not care anymore. I have a child and self that I need to protect.

Elle? Caller #2! Listen to your bloody inner voice, your inner guidance, your intuition, your 6th sense or whatever you want to call it. It clearly says that you are not ready, that you have serious doubts about your guy, and that you are totally, absolutely not sure. Give it a break. Let him do his military thing for a year or two. If it's supposed to be - you will both come back together better and more mature, knowing exactly what you're wanting and whether the other has what you desire. Do not tie yourself down with a marriage @ 22 and for god's sake - don't have kids right now. If you want to change your life dramatically - go and get knocked up and see where that takes you!!! Being in the military changes people [so does working in law enforcement]. Both from the outside influence of hanging out with "the fellows" aka peer pressure, to what it does to our soldiers when they see combat, seen their buddies blown to bits, to overcoming the knowledge that they may have to kill people, or are responsible for the intentional death of others. For some people being in the military can be a godsend - learning discipline, setting goals, getting to know themselves and planning the remainder of their lives accordingly. For most - it's a huge burden - the things they are often forced to do or experience is life changing. Their life changes and so does yours [and your kids, dogs, cats or whatever], whether you know it or not. Give yourself the freedom to mature a bit, grow up a bit more, have some life experiences of your own, go play, learn, travel and experiment before you tie the knot or commit for a life time [or the time your marriage will last!] Blessings, girl!!!

Letting go of his parents is hard because they need him. Whether they are using him or not, there is a need there. But he’s got to realize that, that need is a toxic need. Carlos wants to feel needed. I hope he can build a family who will need him in a healthy way, as I’m sure he would be stellar at providing.

You're right they are definitely dependent on him. And it's not the way it is supposed to be. This is what my late late adolescents on through age 16 when my mom decided I was an adult and left me and my 17 y.o. irresponsible sister and her baby In the house we all lived in when I left for school that day. It also came included with the bills that were not paid a perverted slum/landlord.

Its important to remember that there is NO ready for life. We can and should take practical steps to protect ourselves, but life is going to... do its natural and sometimes chaotic changes. Questioning where you pause is a good idea. My husband and I didnt do everything as completely as we could have... its still a progress. Before we married, we had a very intentional conversation about marriages we have seen; in family, friends, in tv... things we didnt want to repeat, things we did want to repeat, and some ideas of things we want to try differently than anything we've ever seen before. That started leads to loooooads of things we couldn't have predicted would be meaningful to talk about. Sometimes we return to where we left off on some of those tangents to break up conflict and reconnect deeper than like... that immediate (surprise?) irritation that is inevitable in sharing life.

ARRRRGH!!! Doctor John, you’re the best! BUT dude you really freak me out when you roll through a call without asking a few basic questions. You’re talking to a 22 yr old *girl*….someone who has been legally allowed to buy a bottle of wine for all of a year…you’re strongly encouraging her to “go all in” which in the context of her question sounds like a suggestion of marriage - yet (the way she states it) all her family and friends are sounding alarm bells about her relationship. You have no idea if these people fall into your “you don’t get a vote” group or your “ride or die - I give you permission to speak into my life” group. Furthermore, shouldn’t constant bickering even before marriage, kids, job loss…etc give one pause? Did you really just tell a virtual child to give marriage to a constant sparing partner who has not earned the trust of her nearest/dearest a chance??? If this is an editing issue, bear in mind - your 22 yr old child listeners in destructive relationships do not know this. You’re a GIFT man, but sometimes….

If we feel that the kids aren't safe, how can we stay connected enough not to totally leave them? I have nieces and nephews that I don't want to abandon. Even though DHR thinks they are "safe enough", I don't believe they are safe. They are in terrible conditions. It breaks my heart and I don't know what to do.

My husband is controlling but he doesn’t think he is. If I do something he doesn’t agree with he yells and curses for a while. Then when he’s through he’s through and he expects me to forget it and be happy. It disturbs me greatly and I don’t just snap back. It sometimes makes me feel physically ill. Otherwise he is a pretty good husband. What can I do?

About the first caller. My kids are 4 years apart and I didn't realize I was asking the oldest for so much advice on the youngest....until they brought it up. They said "Hey Mom I don't know if you realize it but you are talking about X a lot." I was mortified. We were going through a stressful period and I didn't realize how much I was going on about it. I was coming from a good place and figured my oldest would understand the youngest better. I didn't realize how uncool it was of me to be doing that to the oldest though. I'm glad he spoke up and said something. Please make sure you tell your family they are doing that so they can try and correct the behavior.

I didn't like the advise John gave for the last caller. The boyfriend needed to clearly voice his frustration with his girlfriend before leaving. I think that should have been talked about. Give her a chance to change and try to make it work. If she didn't want to, then leave.

That's not true! Most men and women are much happier when they marry young and live in a traditional marriage and grow their family. It's very fulfilling. We should always be striving to find the right partner. As a woman ages, her ability to have children and have healthy children decreases. Once you're in your 30s, your chances start decreasing quickly. We're all different, for some women it's sooner and some women it's later. This lifestyle also isn't for everyone, but the majority have happier, healthier lives. It's what comes most natural.

John, I absolutely love your show, but I have a major problem with this episode. It is actually imperative that your spouse shares the same beliefs as you. If I'm a true, Bible believing Christian, I'm not going to be in a relationship with somebody who is a True Believer of some other religion, just because we both believe in a "higher power". That's not going to work, and I'm kind of surprised and disappointed that you even said that. I love your show, I just wish you would stand up for your Christian values more.
