crochet for left hander

So I am left handed, and have been wanting to learn how to crochet. My mother refuses to teach me because she is right handed and says that when she was younger and tried teaching her sister (who is left handed) it failed horribly. I have attempted several times to try it the "right" way but it just does not work, and at one point i tried the "left" way but halfway through ended up doing it right handed.
Does anyone know of good sources that shows how to do it the left handed way? Any suggestions on how to prevent my weird left-to-right flip? I do know how to read the patterns, so that is not a problem its just going through the motions, that seem to be my difficulty.

I too struggled as a left hander. I find graph patterns much easier to follow because I do as you do and go the other way to right handlers. Also I struggled with crocheting in rows but was shown how to do squares. So I progressed so but surely. Good luck you will get there.
