Our problems started many years ago due to her constant nagging and belittling nature. In my opinion, she is a perfectionist who goes out of her way to make me look bad in family gatherings. I lost faith in her abilities to offer sound motherly advice since she is very petty and malicious. This is the main reason why I opt out of family gatherings where she is in attendance. In the few instances where I have to attend such meetings, I have to maintain a pretentious appearance of liking her and enjoying her lame jokes.

I would instead gain quality family holidays. Besides, discarding my negative emotions could help to establish a wonderful motherly relationship based on love and respect instead of hate and

Keywords that are most important to the documentary are, War on Drugs, incarceration, drug involvement/abuse, and racism. All of these words are loosely or heavily connected to each other.

As the old saying goes, “forgive and forget”. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done. However, digging deep down and finding a way to let go of the ill feelings that are created by someone’s wrong doings, or what is perceived as such, can be liberating. Harboring such anger and animosity can be nearly crippling. Freeing those negative feelings allows one to experience peace and joy that cannot be achieved with such upset in not only the head, but also the

I have heard it said by friends that they think of liberals as promoting policies that stem from the heart while conservatives think from the head. Although this may not be completely accurate for every conservative or liberal, I do believe that this description of the two major sides of most issues can be seen throughout conservative and liberal policies.

Conservatives tend to shy away from policies that expand the welfare system because they genuinely believe that the
