Thank you for listening to this edition of the Call of the Day.

Be sure to listen to my program Monday through Friday now heard on Sirius XM Triumph 2011.

Audra and Jesse, welcome to the program.

Hi, Dr. Laura. My husband just got home from work right now, so I thought I must see the

that's how I see it. Give me an example of how she might use it to manipulate him. Use the kids.

Give me the picture. Right. So for example, she has not seen them since my daughter in November when
