Through Scientology I have learned skills that have allowed me to communicate with my children, friends, and acquaintances. Yes, these are skills that must be learned. There is the skill of just "being there" for someone--and listening-- asking questions-- listening to the complete answer. I can now do this without having an emotional "button" pushed that interferes with my ability to just "be there" and listen.

          At 62 years of age I have become opinionated on many subjects. Being able to listen to my seven children has allowed be to feel at least 20 years younger.
