Yup! Your mom is not helping and she needs to know that. She will either change or not, but hopefully she will. I've been on this earth for well over 40 years and I still don't know how to get over it. I do know how to do it easily, tho. You definitely can improve by talking to/by yourself. I like to read out loud. Use it by practicing speaking how you want to. Also, never let the bastards get you down.
