My mother's solution is to run away to church when confronted and continue to live in denial. I know many others like my mother. Yet I also know I could not have survived my hard life and gotten this far without a spiritual force I call God. I am open to others religous views when they don't cause me harm or are not used as a control tactic.

Chris, Spiritualism is a religion that believes in communication w/the dead
to help us understand there is life after death. Also to comfort us if we've lost someone we love.
Tho I am a Spiritualist I'm more universal in my beliefs...all religions have
a piece of the whole...combined it'd be beautiful. I agree, spirituality resides
in our hearts...not in a religion which could be distorted by man's need for
control & power.
Just know you can't control your mother or anyone else....you can only
control your own reactions to them. So just live your life as the beautiful
spiritual you are !
