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 triumph 111.

0:11.3

Lauren, welcome to the program.

0:13.5

I have a 21 year old daughter who lives with me. She goes full time to school and I noticed that she gets meals. I noticed that she's very, very thin.

0:25.5

About four months ago, I took her to the doctor. I made her make an appointment and made me go in there, but she refused to.

0:34.2

The doctor kind of like didn't want to talk to me about it, but her lab work came that she's fine. She's a little bit deficiency and.

0:41.7

Maybe vitamin D. I know that you're okay. I'm sorry you're echoing again. So do you have a radio on or something? Yeah, I turned it off. I'm sorry.

0:54.7

Okay. I'm constantly telling her. Okay, constantly telling anybody something does not work. It makes them somewhere between hate you and ignore you.

1:07.7

You guys do that. Well, then since it's not effective.

1:14.7

Now the doctor, well, he had privacy issues. I get that and she didn't want to give you information. So how did you know about the vitamin D?

1:25.7

Because when she, when the doctor looked at her lab, I was hearing the conversation when they called her and she's like, I was asking questions to the doctor and she's just always just vitamin D deficiency and that it, but she's fine.

1:40.7

As long as she keeps her weight, but I don't know what that she told the doctor when she went in first and me because the doctor didn't want to provide me more information.

1:49.7

Because I want like a drug test. I wanted, you know, blood work and there's no mom. Definitely what she wants. So we're not going to get it. So I'm just feel that something's wrong and I just hate the fact that I keep seeing her looking thinner and thinner.

2:08.7

And when did the thinner and thinner start years ago?

2:13.7

I know it's it. I want to say it's going to be about a year now. When I, when I took her to doctor four months ago, she went, she got like back on track, like, you know, eating a little bit more because I found a little bit thicker.

2:27.7

But then now she's back to the slim again and I had a talk to her. What, what's the story with her dad?

2:35.7

He's in the home. He's my, he's my husband, her father. Her, he's like the greatest father.

2:41.7

Like the greatest. It's because she didn't they love each other. There, I mean, the problems with me. I'm the bad cop. She's a good cop.

2:50.7

Okay. And how, what's his reaction? The good cop to the fact that she's getting thinner and thinner.

2:59.7

Oh, you're making things up. I see her eat, but I noticed a couple of things when she's eating with us, you know, like the, stop, stop, stop.

3:09.7

You have a conversation with him and he denies the obvious.

3:15.7

What do you think that's about? That's disturbing. He's such a great dad. He sees her getting smaller and smaller and is denying the truth of that. How does that make him a great dad?

3:28.7

Well, because the relationship he has with her.
