- I had a restraining order against my mother for a decade.
I'm not familiar with the restraining orders system. Does it mean that she wasn't allowed to see you? If so... I'm hesitant to ask, but - why?
- My mom now feels guilty, and fights to get me the help I need
What kind of help? Why does she feel guilty now?
- Have you read the Drama of the Gifted Child by Alice Walker?
No, I haven't. I just checked it on Amazon and added it to my wish list, so maybe I'll get it someday. It sounds like something I must read.
- If you want to feel independence take some time off to go WWOOFing.
That's a great idea. I thought about it before, and now that you've mentioned it... It sounds like something I'd love to do. The notion of hard work for sustainance sounds appealing - it is as if you're working towards the food, directly, instead of the detached way many of us consume it today.
Thank you for your advice. I appreaciate it.
