John, welcome to the program. Hello, how are you? Good. What can I help you with, John?

0:19.1

So I'm calling more so for my partner, Carolyn.

0:23.7

It's kind of an ongoing issue, but something that just recently happened.

0:27.7

Her son's wife had a second baby boy a couple of days ago.

0:34.5

And she has always seemed to have a good relationship with her son.

0:39.0

1:44.1

that since i don't know her son and the wife, nor the history of the

1:49.7

2:02.5

If people are not prioritizing mom and you and they're prioritizing other people,
