So my DM has always been a "believer". She's had a very tough upbringing, and I think for some reason it gives her comfort or answers.
Over the years she has visited them on and off.
She's recently had a pretty major health scare, which has obviously brought about a lot of self-reflection and is an opportunity to reset certain lifestyle choices. As a fmaily we've been encouraging her to find something that she enjoys doing, a new hobby, something that nourishes her and isn't about anyone else. I've offered to help her and given her lots of suggestions, but she's been very resistant - I don't know why.
Anyway, today I've just found out she's visitng a psychic again and I can't help but feel sad. Obviously I would never say don't go she clearly gets something out of it. However it's such utter clap-trap, I can't help but feel that psychics are a bunch of charlatans praying on vulnerable people (of which my mum is one). I feel like no good can come off this. It only succeeds in enhancing any fears and worries my mum has.
I'm sorry to any other believers out there, but I really think it's a quite dangerous and cruel thing.
