0:00.0	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.
0:10.0	I'm 1-11.
0:11.0	FACI. Welcome to the program.
0:13.0	Hi, Dr. Laura. I wanted to check in with you and make sure that I am doing the right thing in a family situation.
