Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM.

I'm 11 and Drew welcome to the program. I got the law. How are you today? Good. What's happening?

I'm a first time first time listener, brand new listener first time caller and I was just listening to you on the radio and your wisdom just really sunk into me and today I was thinking about my relationship with my siblings.

I have two siblings that I grew up with, same mother, but we don't have the same father. So he's my stepfather and their biological dad and me and my stepfather never got along.

I could remember from very, very young age how he yelled at me and never really spoke to me like a child and never really showed affection like a father with short affection.

And I noticed the different way he treated my siblings. He was sort of sort of a dad to my siblings.

He was never really an affectionate father, but at least he didn't have the same sort of tension that he had with me with my siblings.

So fast forward now I'm 35 years old and I'm four years older than my sister and eight years older than my brother.

So my question to you doctor is what do I do or am I thinking about it too much is there.

I'm sorry you needed to finish your sentence. What do I do about you need to finish the sentence. What do I do about what he didn't finish your sentence.

What do I what do I do as a brother as an older brother. How can I restore repair our relationship because I feel like every time we do get close.

Then for whatever reason the relationship begins to you're going to have to change that sentence because I don't listen to anybody ever anybody when they say for whatever reason.

Because you already know the reason you just not telling me so you have to tell me the reason I think the reason I think the reason is their father.

I don't think their father wants us to get close call him up and ask him that.

Say I want to really have a brother sister brother brother relationship with you.

I'm your dad and I are not tight. I get that I'm okay with that. I'm not complaining about anything.

But I'd like to be closer to you guys. So is that okay or is that a problem because of your dad and me ask for question.

Well, should I you're saying I should ask my siblings that question or should ask their father directly that question.

What did I just say to you? I specifically gave you the example of what you would say to your brother and sister.

I never mentioned. Yeah, talking to your dad.

I whoever stepped at. Yeah, listening is a very important tool.

I'd like you to call your siblings. Say I'd like us to be closer.
