My mom gives horrible advice. She hates confrontation and would rather silently seethe until she explodes in a rage. Over the course of my life, she has told me to never let anyone know if they did something to upset me. she would say "Silence speaks volumes." It doesn't. It took me 16 years of therapy to learn how to express myself like a normal sane person. I am still not sure if I can. 😃 (TB)
