I was reading the paper.
The 'Dear Thelma' section caught my attention.
The title, 'I hate my mother to the core' drew close proximity.

I must take the advice in the reply.

"The first thing you have to realise and accept is that you are in charge of your own behaviour...

You have to take responsibility for your own actions...

If you can tell that these behaviours are less than desirable and you don't want to do them, you have the power to stop. You have to make that mental decision to do so. And then you have to find the discipline to stay true to your decision to stop these behaviours.

You have to stop making excuses.

What you have to do now is to harness your energy and focus on something positive. You just have to stop looking at yourself as a victim, and see that you can exercise some control over your life .."
