Yep.. he shows up when he pleases, he leaves when he pleases, he takes the credit for being a father while she does all the work, and he gets defensive when she tries to speak up for fair treatment...

In short, he controls everything.

Whatever advice you give her, its the same you would want to give yourself, I see these two situations as both very similar.

I think you have had the time to build more confidence, and ALJ can certainly get there, but I am reading pursuit on both yours and her posts.. pursue sociopathic behaviour and you will just end up getting used.

You need to set firm boundaries to avoid being used... And again if you notice if i read it right both MIL's are enabling their sons...
