Sandhya, You are not going mad. Your mother is not able to understand that you have many questions. She may not be able to because of her nature and upbringing. You, however, must always remember that to be curious is O.K. and continue to ask questions. You have a wonderful mind that also must understand that there is a time for questions and a time to be kind to your mother. Do not expect her to do what she cannot do. Just love her. No one person can meet all your expectations. She will be able to do the things for you that she can. Conflict arises when you see her frustration and want something more from her. This is normal for you to feel. Moms sometimes can't do anymore than they are able to do. There will be places and times in your life where you can talk in less challenging circumstances and exercise your ideas more freely. You may not be able to do that right now at home with your mom and family. Don't force it. There is a time and place for everything. You may have to wait for the answers sometimes but be patient. It's hard to be smart. Your mother must think that you, too, are adorable. I do.
