I got the best advice when I was in therapy during a time when my mom was being extremely difficult: you don't choose your parents and you don't have to love them. Somehow being granted permission to let go like that was very freeing.
And I always eat raw garlic when I feel a cold coming on. I just chop up a clove into manageable pieces and swallow them in the morning for a few days until my symptoms go away. Always wondered if really worked or it was just in my head, but it seems to fight the colds off so I keep doing it. Glad to see there is some science Tuesday behind it. :)
