Question

Francine's therapist says, "you say you like to be with your father, yet every time he calls, you're too busy to see him. also, whenever your mother calls, you seem to have plenty of time for her. does this make sense to you

Answer 1

I think that what is happening here is that Francine has some subconscious aversion of her father. Perhaps, there was some conflict between them, but Francine feels guilty of rejecting her father or afraid of him.
The solution is to figure out what the reason for Francine's avoidance of her father is, and to deal with that problem.
