How to communicate to a \'feeler\'My mom and I... don\'t exactly get along.
I am a sophomore in college and I am very cerebral - I don\'t let my emotions influence most decisions, which is good, and am, in fact, rather out of touch with most of my emotions. My mother, on the other hand, tends to be what I perceive as not exactly a follower of logic and tends to speak before she thinks and do things in an illogical manner.
Mom and I are arguing about a lot of serious things - the way she treats me, the way she and I communicate, etc. - and I can\'t seem to get through to her, nor does she seem to understand what I say when I talk in a clear fashion. I\'m on my last bit of sanity when it comes to talking to her.
I don\'t know what to do about her. THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION WILL NOT BE DISPLAYED UNTIL YOU HAVE INDICATED YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THE DISCLAIMER PRINTED JUST BELOW. CLICK THE 'I AGREE' BUTTON TO AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND SEE THE RESPONSE.
