Question Posted Wednesday August 17 2005, 10:39 pm
Okay, so my mom is screwed up. She thinks I should respect her when she has not earned it. She makes me doubt that commandment, because I'm beginning to see that not everyone that births a child is fit to raise them.
She makes six-digits/year, so I'm not looking for DFACS to take me away from her exactly, but does anyone know of some free counseling/therapy I could have her attend, and how to get her to attend? I'm going to ask my school guidance counselor about it tomorrow.
Any other ideas about how I could change her course of thinking (she moved from New England to Georgia--where I am now--and the culture is very different. She has continued to fail to see that.) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, guys.
Additional info, added Wednesday August 17 2005, 11:42 pm: I've been begging for months to go to family counseling.
And I don't beg.
So that's saying something.
She thinks there is absolutely nothing wrong with her.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Families?

Then explain that you would like her to see a counselor, and if she wants you'll go with her at first of course. talking to your gudiance counselor is an excellant idea. good luck..
hope i helped

Ask the counsler at your school to find any free therapists for you mom, and talk about ways to get her to go with him/her. Try sittin and talking with your mom camly and showing her the facts that where your living is diffrent... Trying talking with her, and if that doesn't work have your counsler talk with her... I hope I helped. Jack [ AdivceJack's advice column | Ask AdivceJack A Question ]
