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 Sirius XM Triumph 111. Angie, welcome to the program.
0:13.0	Hi, Dr. Laura.
0:15.0	Hi. What can I do for you Angie?
0:19.0	Well, I've got a problem with my youngest son. I got a call from him last week.
0:25.0	Um, he's been distant from me for a few months.
0:30.0	Um, and I had sent him a text to asking him, um, is there something I did wrong?
0:36.0	I don't understand. I mean, you pretended you didn't know what you did wrong.
0:44.0	Oh, well, no, I did not know anything that I had done wrong.
0:48.0	So I sent him a text and then he finally called me last week and he said, mom, um, at Thanksgiving, you said something to my daughter and mom, um, about spending time between my ex husband and myself.
1:08.0	He said that was the final straw. He said, um, me and my aunt say, uh, what did he mean?

2:07.0	So, um, that's what he means by that. He said he thinks that I haven't changed that.
2:15.0	Um, you know, I still have this hatred, which I don't have hatred. I am still hurt by the fact of what he did.
2:26.0	He's not the slightest bit concerned about your hurt or hatred. He's concerned about your behavior.
2:39.0	Well, if I were to behave in a very bad way, um, I would have already done it to my ex husband or his wife.
2:49.0	I have nothing. No, no.
2:52.0	Your son is concerned about your bad behavior. Doesn't want to be around it.
