0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five p.m. Eastern time on serious XM triumph 11 April. Welcome to the program.
0:13.0	I'm high, Dr. Laura. Thank you for taking my call. My pleasure. What's up?
0:18.0	I'm going to try not to ramble and I'll try not to talk over you because I know that really gets on your nerves. So here is my sister.
0:30.0	My sister has been a drug addict all of her adult life. Just here recently my mother was in the hospital.
0:41.0	And we thought that she wasn't going to make it. She had a really bad fall and we thought she had brain damage or whatever, but but she has since recovered and is doing well.
0:51.0	But in the process, my sister got hold of her credit cards and her bank cards and she stole about $3,000.
1:02.0	And this isn't the first time this has happened, but this is just the most recent.
1:08.0	And basically she's turned it back on my mother and it was her fault that, you know, Crystal was taking care of her while she was in the hospital and, you know, she deserved getting the money.
1:22.0	And well, why was a consistent drug addict thief the one to take care of mother? That sort of makes you look bad.

1:53.0	Well, I was. I was and my daughter was we were, you know, kind of rotating because she was in the hospital for two weeks.
2:02.0	Why are you rotating a drug addict who steals?
2:12.0	I mean, this makes no sense to me. Okay. So what were you going to ask? It doesn't matter what she claims.
2:23.0	You're all sounding irresponsible.
2:28.0	She blames your mother. You blame her. I'm blaming you.
2:32.0	Lame is you're going around.
2:35.0	If she can't be trusted, then you should make extra effort to make sure you protect your mother from her.
2:41.0	Does that make sense?
2:44.0	It does make sense. It does make sense.
2:47.0	I guess my question for you is, um, I will go ahead.
2:53.0	No, I was just wanting to hear your guesses.
