My mother and her entire family (my aunts, uncles, cousins) think and behave like your mother. My father, "believed" as much as his scientific brain allowed. He went as far as writing my PDoc a series of questions about my disease, such as, was it something he did, what can he do to cure me, how can he support me long distance etc. it's unfortunate the queen B doesn't have 1/4 of his intelligence and compassion. She's just wasting our finite resources by staying alive.
