Before Scientology I had bad communication with my mother. Actually, we (my wife an I)almost had no communication with each other. She didn't know what I was doing or thinking and vice versa. The first course I did was "Overcoming Ups and Downs in Life". After 2 days in this course, I found out that I could communicate with my mother after all and it was not as hard as I thought. When I finished it I could communicate. I then decided to continue to get more knowledge about Dianetics and Scientology to improve my life.
