I used to have to tell my brother to tell our mother to do something, like for her health; she wouldnt listen to me. Plus she assumed everything i did was stupid unless someone else told her it was okay. Whats bad is, i didnt realize she was unilaterally rejecting me; i kept looking for ways to convince her. But it was an impossible task; i was literally wasting my time. Stupid, stupid, stupid! I finally moved on; she finally died. Dont you all wait that long, please!! Dont let another person, even if its your mom, stop you from fulfilling your purpose in life. Or even just from having a happy life.
