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 Sirius XM Triumph 111. John, welcome to the program. Hello, can you hear me, Dr. Oro? Yes, sir.

What can I do for you? Say I got a 30-year-old daughter, and she's kind of been...

She kind of tends to fade towards her husband's side of the family and my side of the family. She doesn't really have much to do with even before she got married. She never really came to family reunions or that type of stuff. And she doesn't... And in what way is she...

Just try to be objective now. What draws her to her husband's family? What is there about their attitudes, behaviors, whatever, religion, whatever, food choice that you see draws her to them? Oh, so you think your daughter's just a little selfish, money-grabbing bitch. Really? I don't think so. And I don't know her. So you want to flesh this out a little bit?

Besides money, what draws her to these people? They go on a lot of trips a year. They go on probably, I don't know, six, seven trips a year probably. Okay, but John, you said that she was not enthralled about your side of the family even before she was with him. So what do you think pushed her away from your side of the family?

I hate to tell you this, but I'm not sure, I guess. Okay, well, then we can't make any headway in the situation. You're just going to have to live with it the way it is. Because if you have no understanding or insight, then we have no way of approaching it. So the first thing you do is tear her down, and I wonder if that's typical of your family, is to make her just a money-grubbing person. So, hmm.

If that's your attitude, then you're... Sir? If that's your attitude, then you have no chance of getting together with her. Sorry.

Yeah. Usually in somebody's life, sir, usually in somebody's life, sir, there's a push and a pull. And you seem to not know what the pull is or you make it just money. And the push is you have no idea. You don't know why she didn't feel comfortable about your side of the family. Well, then you're blind. How could you not notice things like that?

Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, maybe you think about it and you can always call back. My number, but for the rest of you, there's always a push-pull. Push-pull. Something pushes the person away and something draws the person in. An example that I've given on the air before is this Jewish family came in

The mom and the dad, the dad was getting into Alzheimer's, didn't say anything during the sessions. And then there were three adult children, a son and two daughters, and they were all in their 40s. And the reason they came in is they were distressed that the son had become Christian. How could this happen? Why would this happen? And what became clear to me is that this was a tough family. And evidently, dad went his...

Cortex was working better, was a tough dude. And the two daughters were very strong women. And to just distill it down, he got a new family. God, Mary, Jesus, got a whole new family that no matter what was accepting and supportive. Push, pull. He wasn't as strong as his sisters and wasn't getting his dad's support. And he switched religions because that put him in an accepting, loving family in his mind. Push, pull.

Pull. So next time you want to call, this person's not talking to me. Push. Pull. Be willing to talk about the push and the pull. Because if you're not going to be serious and open and truthful about the push and the pull, you can't make any headway. It just stays the way it is. So don't ask, should I reach out and send a birthday card? Yeah, that's just silly. Okay? Push. Pull.

My number 1-800-375-2872. Check out my social media on Facebook and Instagram. I post stories, photos, and videos seven days a week and feature some of what you've sent me to.
