hello all!
I became aware of Steve's site by searching "how to deal with a difficult mother" and reading this article:
http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...ship-problems/
What I gained from this article was a realization that there is suffering in being attached to outcomes (for example: mom should be what a "mom" should be/we should accept abusive behavior by our relatives: because they are our relatives; not a joyful assumption once it is considered); As I study/undertand consciousness and the negative impact of EGO: the more peaceful I become. The site is useful to raise consciousness and the recommended reading has been joyful.
