I really feel bad for her. I can kind of relate to that. My moms not religous but she is against who I am and what I believe. I'd literally be dead if I didn't have my friends to lean on every now and then.
I know what you mean. My mom thinks that I have control over my memory when I have short term memory loss. She thinks I have control over my health. She thinks she know everything about me better than I know myself.
