Berry says, "She drove me there, but I don't think she ever thought it would pan out. "After a month or two, I ran out of money and called her. I said, `Mom, I hate to ask you this, but could you send me some money? I just have rent money. I can't eat this week.' "And she said, I'm not going to start this calling home asking Mom for money. No. Figure it out or come home.' I was so mad. I didn't speak to her for a year and a half." The 40-year-old actress now accepts her mother did the right thing and she's grateful for her tough love. She adds, "It taught me how to take care of myself and that I could live through any situation, even if it meant going to a shelter for a small stint, or living within my means, which were meager. "I became a person who knows that I will always make my own way."
