单集简介 ...

Seventeen-year-old “Struggling” had big dreams to leave his small town, but his living situation was at risk because he couldn’t stop using drugs. A letter writer who called herself “Bad Mom” loved her children, but could no longer bear the demands of motherhood. Both desperately needed to transform their lives. In today’s update episode, we check in with some of our most memorable letter writers from previous episodes. The Sugars find out if “Struggling” was kicked out of his mother’s house, and they give “Bad Mom” a call to see if and how her views of motherhood have changed since hearing the Sugars’ advice more than two years ago. This episode was originally published on January 27th, 2018. The Sugars Recommend Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger Archaic Torso of Apollo by Rainer Maria Rilke

  • I'm Steve Almond.

  • I'm Cheryl Strayed.

  • This is Dear Sugars.

  • Hi, Cheryl.

  • Hey, Steve.

  • I have to confess that I've been really vicariously following your gallivanting about the globe.

  • Yes, I I'm a believer in doing the things you say you want to do,

  • setting your intentions and following through with them.

  • And for the longest time,

  • my husband and I have been saying that we want to pull our kids out of school and go travel.

  • And so we did.

  • We went to New Zealand and Nepal and Tanzania and Kenya and Qatar and Portugal.

  • And it was really fun.

  • Life-changing.

  • Life-changing in that deep way that travel can be.

  • It wasn't a vacation.

  • It was a trip.

  • And it was a great way for me to end one year and begin another.
