Happy Tuesday, Sault Ste. Marie! Lets start our week with a juicy question from Anonymous Nuthatch who asks,

Will my mother ever accept my psychic abilities?

Want to see your question answered here? Send me an email!

Well, what a sticky question. I know other people reading this will wonder why you couldn't answer this question for yourself, but I'm guessing you sent this question to me because you have a difficult time reading for yourself. Which - for all you folks listening in - is actually a very challenging thing to do because it's impossible in such a situation to be complete unbiased and unobjective.

Before you I provide your answer, as usual, I'm asking a question of my own: Are you certain that the most important question isn't, "Will my mother ever accept me?" There's a reason you chose to put the emphasis on your own psychic abilities instead of your general relationship. So think about that.

To properly answer your question, we have to examine a few things. First, yourself. In choosing to develop your skills and abilities, you're changing your path in life and walking a margin that instantly puts you outside the mainstream current of society. Such a rearrangement of your life and "self" necessarily conflicts with the path others would create for you.

Second, your mother: She's not upset that you have psychic abilities, per se, she's only upset that you've redefined who you are in the context of her life. It's rather selfish to put it this way, but she was happy with the way things were and didn't want anything to change that. Your decision to openly live who you feel yourself to be changes that equation, and in turn forbids your mother from living in the reality of yesterday that has served her so comfortably.

So now that you see where everybody's coming from, you'll understand that your mother doesn't precisely care about your psychic abilities, only that you fit into the definition she's created for you in her life. If it's not a problem to just not talk about your psychic abilities around your mother, then I think she'd be very happy and contented. But if this is something that you want to force her to confront, then the answer is no - she will never fully accept your abilities. This doesn't mean you should abandon your passion, only that you should answer for yourself if it's important to bring it into her life. Think about it.
