I was listening to your podcast when a young lady was discussing her mother defending her friend instead of her. Since her mother was not mentally healthy, you stated her mother had created a new family with this friend who was now her daughter. It was like you slapped me upside the head.... That is what my mother has done. She disowned me and has not spoken to me for over 4 years. She caters to another woman whose husband left her. I appreciated that you stated it was not about the caller, so I'm not going to take it personally. I called my aunt and let her listen to it.  She was also appreciative of the fact to not take it personally. 

Thank you so much.  It is a blessing to be able to listen to you to gain knowledge!! And like the caller, I will look to you as my mother to work toward healthier thinking!!
