Dr. Laura.com. Morgan, welcome to the program. Hello, thank you so much. It's such a gift to be

able to have somebody to call like this. So thank you. Thank you. How can I, well,

let me do my job then. How can I help you? Um, I am a tad bit nervous. I'll be honest with you.

So I wrote out, um, what I wanted to say. May I read it to you? Of course.

Thank you. Um, let me, Let me pull back up to the beginning.

So before I do anything stupid, I wanted to reach out to you for your counsel, navigating

a family situation for context and clarity almost a year today from the state I called you, frustrated and befuddled at my family,

particularly my mother, whom when I ended a two-month relationship, which I'll just side note,

we didn't do anything morally apprehensible, so it was easy for me to let him go, and I realized

it was not a smart choice. That guy freaked out, contacted my mom's gossip buddy, and ended up talking with my parents over the phone,

which I did not share many details with him, but he knew I was not close to them,

and I had made a healthy distance for a reason.

My mom sent him, someone she never talked to her seen before, her credit card, to fly out and meet them after I had ended the relationship.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Go ahead.

Thank you. She hid this fact and that she was also talking to him I didn't need that just like you just did

in this call I didn't need to share any other details you immediately got the picture yes thank you

your mother's a bit of a wacko isn't she all go ahead. Exactly what you said in the other call.

Well, at least I'm consistent.
