Throughout his life, the asker's mother has found time to criticise - and that all adds up. What can he do to heal those wounds? Marian and Tara bring their words of wisdom.

Each week for this series of 10 mini-podcasts, Marian and Tara take one email from a listener to spotlight with, perhaps, a little less diplomacy that they might muster in the full versions of their popular problem-busting podcast, Now You're Asking. It's a hard and fast snapshot of their take on an issue or problem.

It's Now You're Asking with a little salt in the caramel - all the more tasty for being bite-sized!
