Chapter 1: Why does my daughter refuse to talk to me?
I'm calling you about my daughter. Okay. She's 30. We homeschooled our kids. We raised them in the church. It got further and further away, and then she broke up with us with a text.
I can't think of a... Again, my kids aren't 30, but I can't think of a worse situation. What's up? This is John with the Dr. John Deloney Show. Hope you are doing amazing. I'm trying to figure out what day it is. Back and forth all over the United States on tour with my buddy Dave, and it is a blast. And I hope you are doing well wherever you happen to be.
If you want to be on the show, I'd love to have you. Real people going through real challenges. Go to johndeloney.com slash ask, and I'd love to have you out here. All right, let's go to Indianapolis, Indiana, and talk to Luann. What's up, Luann?
Well, it's Tuesday, just so you're aware.
What day did I say it was? Did I say it was Monday?
You didn't.
You didn't know. I don't know where. Yeah. It's good to talk to you. Thank you for telling me that. I did not know what day it was.
Thank you for having me on. I appreciate it.
No, it's awesome. I legitimately didn't know it was Tuesday, so thank you for that. What's up?

Chapter 2: What can I do about my estranged relationship with my daughter?
We walked through, I taught you about sex. I taught you about some of these harder, bigger issues. We had conversations. If you can honestly walk through and say, I don't know any of that stuff. Those are usually, not usually, those are often the big cutoff points. Like mom and dad, you didn't protect me. And then after that, who knows what adventure she's on.
And I think you have to let yourself get out from behind your intellectual shield and just be really, really sad. I miss my baby girl.
Okay. My husband's been encouraging me to do that for a while, and when she cut off last fall, he said, there you go. There's nothing we can do.
I will disagree with him on one thing. Okay. I'll disagree with him on one thing.
And that is?
Yeah, I'm trying to think of the right way to say it.
Okay. Well, you could say it the wrong way and walk it back.
I could, yeah. So there's a fine line for me between, well, I'll paint a big, huge picture here. She's asked you not to call her or text her. She's asked for no contact. And I want to honor that. I want to honor that. Mm-hmm. And also, I know, I know, but also, um, I'm trying, I'm talking myself into, I'm thinking myself into circles here. So I'm going to, I'm going to do it. Yeah.
I'm going to do what you said. I'm going to speak this out and then I may walk it back. Um, often young people, and I'll say 30 and younger, maybe even older, um, trying to heal a broken relationship with a parent in their life or with an adult figure will put down these big gauntlets.

Chapter 3: How can self-reflection improve family relationships?
You sound like you're somebody who is a really amazing person, and you're very kind, and you're very, very, very, very, very loyal. And that you're on your last bit of energy before you slip underwater for good. Fair?
Yeah.
Okay. So normally I would talk to you for a long time about this, but because of our condensed time together, I'm going to be real, real direct, okay?
Okay.
Don't take that for me not being loving. but I want it to be real direct, okay?
Okay.
If you crumble under the weight of all of this, you'll be of no good to yourself or to those three little kids in the background or to him.
Okay.
Okay? It's okay for you to say, I've reached the end of what I can carry because you're carrying the entire house plus a grown man, emotionally, physically, sexually, spiritually. It's too much.
