Summary

(Part 2 of 2) Ray, my guest today, has written a Worksheet on his mother yelling at him when he was six years old. He just wants her to listen to him and care about what he says, and he sees her as self-absorbed, angry, frustrated, insensitive, unloving, and oblivious. But is his mother really the problem?
