I'm planning a small psychology session with my mother, one on one. I’ll be giving her the first chapter of “The Little Red Book of Sales Answers” (only because the first chapters up to answer 11 are extremely effective in self help) Then, I’ll lead a discussion with her. I'm writing down critical questions to ask her, but I’ll mainly try to just listen, instead of pass her my 'sermon after sermon' speeches. I'm going to attempt some Dale Carnegie strategies with her this time. (I know it’s usually for business, but I think it'll work) All her life, I’ve been negative, critical of who she was. (I don't approve at all, of her reckless sexual lifestyle, and her continual abuse of drugs) She has never been in any of her five children’s lives (which all have different fathers.) I’ve though of just waiting it out, but it is obviously not working, I’ve even thought of writing Dr. Phil. That’s how desperate I’ve become. I'm hurting to change this because she is now forty years old (I'm 18)...
