T O P I C R E V I E WAmi AnneI know I have been struggling with the same thing for 7 years. I just think IF ONLY I could do something, my mother would change.My son, as I told you, works with someone just like my mother. He became really tormented by this woman and someone finally understood what I went through.Today, I talked to a really close, real life friend. His wife is exactly like this.I have to ACCEPT that my mother will never change but it is really, really hard.------------------ Want to Read Simple, Sexy, Fun Articles on Astrology?

Check Me Out, DUDE. http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/ungumudaIt's not that your mother can't change, it's that YOU can't make her change to be someone you wish. No one can't change or control what other people think, unless the person himself want to change. We need to accept that and simply let go. But nothing is simple in the practice of letting go. You can't wake up one day, decide it's time to let go and magically all your problems and hurts all go away. Letting go is everyday practice, naturally sometimes you slip up, it's okay, then you can raise up again and keep practicing On other note, I wonder if you and your son have personal planet on libra on seventh house placement?

Simply accept them for who they are as shown by their actions and move along or work with it if needed.
NOW that does not work in romantic relationships..one likes what you like in a person romantically and there should be no deviations. Family and Friends are a very different matter.
