“I feel like I’m betraying him..” *goosebumps*. I felt that deep in my soul.

[Sarbury]

My grandfather died by suicide a year before I was born. Don’t think my mother ever fully processed it. My wife lost her twin sister to suicide when she was 23. Sending love to this lady.

Finding friends when you get older is so hard. I vote for a “John Delony friend group” at least we can start with something we have in common 😃
I’ll start the list…. 😊

[MicheleHerrmann]

Diane needs to also seek legal counsel, not so much for divorce but to make sure she is not at risk for any severe financial issues. And to get power of attorney over her husband.

[kimm]

My Dad is also going into all those conspiracy theories and politics as he ages. I think its the news he watches. I understand the struggle.

[jsart]

Marie, I just want to say to you how very truly sorry for the death of your husband, I have no words I just want you to know you and your sweet daughters are in my prayers. You have had to make the ultimate sacrifice for all of us . I pray the govt will come up with a better solution for our military soldiers and what they are asked to do to protect us. I just want you to know there are people like me, strangers who are grateful to you and support you with prayers, etc,

[Magdalene]

My heart goes out to Marie!! She is so strong and so brave to face something so hard and difficult. Grief is like ocean waves - comes in crashing all at once and goes away for a bit and you can breath. I pray she can find peace, a safe space to grieve how she needs, and eventually find the sunshine. 🙏❤️

Jeff, I hope you see this. I was on the show a couple weeks ago and I appreciate your courage in calling. It takes a lot, so I understand. I have to tell you that you seem like you’d be an awesome friend. I don’t have friends either. It sucks, Man. I’m trying to actively find some “ride or die”friends and I know what you’re feeling. It’s lonely. I can only play Hogwarts Legacy so many times before I am forced to admit it’s not enough and I want more. Haha! I deserve more, and so do you!

Also, just from one fellow Delony caller to another, ignore any mean comments if they come. Just know there’s another dude out there struggling with this same issue that sees you and understands!

[Mysterious_Moon]

The husband of caller #1 doesn’t only have delusions but the root issue of all of it is 🥁🥁🥁 Honesty. Honesty with himself and those closest to him. Money is important, but being secretive and not owning up with your partner in crime will rot everything you love to the core. His ego is trying to protect him but he must be in excruciating pain too, thinking the world is crashing down all the time. This man is my father.

[kaidiver]

YESSSS!! My Mommy had pass away on April 20, 2023. My life rotated and surrounded with her. I feel so lost.

[frankirwin]

Jeff seems like a chill dude, if we lived around each other I’d hang with him.

[LordBass]

Since it's not topical, I love that this show's guidance is constant. It doesn't expire. Rough situations in this episode. I needed to hear them.

[seanporter]

She needs to seperate her finances from her husband as soon as possible. The rabbit hole he has fallen down in leads to financial ruin.

[rudymalizia]

I'm almost 73. I live a life of solitude. I always hoped, maybe tômrow. No friends whatsoever.
No closeness and have never been loved. I'm described as happy go lucky.
I'm the type to whom a gymmate or cashier / aquaintances say "I love you."
But I exist.

I cannot find unmarried available people.

Crypto is very risky, but to say gold and silver are some of the riskiest investments available shows your dogmatic obedience to mutual fund managers. Look at the 10 year, 20 year, and 50 year charts. Gold and silver are up, steadily over the decades. Perhaps the market is better over that same time period, but it's not nearly as risky as you portrayed. Plus it's main function in an investment portfolio is as a hedge against inflation.

[JamesBond-lttr]

I understand callers are very emotional when they are going through tough situations; I notice they don’t stop and listen to what Dr. Delony is trying to help them with. I hear a lot of “yeah but” responses. I suggest having your questions written out and answer his questions, this will help minimize derailment during the discussion. This is a brief therapeutic interaction and you need as much information out of this as possible…breathe and slow down.

[barbiesergio]

The first caller is what my mom is dealing with, 52 years of marriage. She has to grieve the loss of the husband she thought she had. She won't ever leave him, too afraid to leave. She has Alzheimer's now and fears not having the money/ "care" he can give her.

[alyross]

The problem is that there is truth mixed with the crazy. I think by now that most people realize there are people in power who don’t have our best interest. The question becomes how far will they go to accomplish their goals?

[TheBrokenSamurai]

Loneliness isn’t not having people to call.. I’ve got people to call but who’s got me who’s gonna call me 😢

[leilaalicea]

the problem here is not that hes a prepper. It's that they are both not on the same page.
