[MLM Survivors Club] Re: My brainwashed daughter's life is in danger

Thank you so much for the advice. My problem is how do I not talk
Amway with her when her life is so engrossed in it? As a mom, I
want to be supportive of her and her successes and listen to her
failures. Is there a neutral way to do that without making it about
Amway? I think I'm so angry with Amway I can't see or think
straight when it comes to them. Maybe I actually need to role-play
what to say to different situations- like if I ask how her day was
and she starts to tell me about the number of people she signed up
and this and that- how do I be interested in her and her life
without talking about the Amway part of it? Any help would be
appreciated greatly!
