AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My mother lives in denial and delusion about herself and her equation with everyone around, now that is a problem more for the people around her and if I tell her anything like how she behaved in the past, she will plainly deny and fight with me, How to deal with this kind of a person?

Affectionately,

Alok Da
