0:00.0	The Dr. Laura Crawler, the date of 15 countdown continues.
0:07.0	Number 7. Marie, welcome to the program.
0:10.0	Thank you. It's a pleasure to speak with your Dr. Laura.
0:13.0	Thank you. What's up?
0:15.0	Okay, so I have an issue that I wanted to get your assessment and opinion on.
0:20.0	I found a paper in my son's printer last week and started to read it because we share a printer.

1:27.0	And he lives with me full time, although his dad sees him whenever he wants. So I have a pretty much open communication.
1:34.0	And because I do what's in best interest of my son, that's what I try to do.

1:45.0	I can do I continue on the trajectory as a mom.
1:49.0	And why would he write something like that or was it to appease his teacher?
1:54.0	Why he was waiting for a phone call from his father? Now his father is a bit of a problem.
1:59.0	Am I going to get a chance to answer some time in there?
