It is one thing to 'support' your troubled son. It is another to bankroll him leaving his wife/family/responsibilities, and to jump right in to take care of him every time he has the kids.
Oh, yeah, and to tell me the entire time that you want him to learn how it is really going to be, to make him face the consequences of his choices. Hmmm.........lie much?
I think she almost enjoys the fact that he is leaving me. More time for her, right? She thinks so I bet. And she gets to take care of him again, very Marie Barone right there. She has this need to take care of other people and she DEFINITELY expects something in return, like the power to control their lives/time/plans. Did I mention the 4 months of calendar pages I get every October-Jan with every family event already planned and dated by her assuming we WILL come to everything she lists?
Yay, at least I am done worrying about that!
OK..serious flashbacks..stop or I'll puke right now..
please tell me she uses guilt as a weapon..please..
May I ask if you know anything at all about her childhood??
