S&A, too much maternal love, that's one thing I got out of the PM book. My mom and I were fused or at least I had fused to her. I was the baby the only son when my 2 sisters had left home it was just me and mom for about 8 years at age 16. I had a lot of guilt when I finally left home, she would now be alone. Thankfully my mom encouraged me to live my own life and never interfered in my marriage. I think she had some sorrow that I had to become the man of the house even though she never treated me that way. But still as a young man it did affect me, I know it did.
Even in mom's old age I am now the one here taking care of her. Both sister's live out of state. I'm all that she has here.
