About this deal

He’s dealing with HIS divorce? or yours? Send notes, texts etc to let him know you are thinking of him and you are there for him when he’s ready. Don’t sound desperate. Never bash mom…you just weren’t a match and both of you deserved peace. The details of your divorce is your business. His girlfriend felt I was “keeping him home” when covid-19 hit and after 2 months of safer-at-home he went to stay with her & her family 1.5 hours away. I am struggling. I just want him to be safe & healthy & happy. But it would be nice if he could stay connected to his family (especially Mom) while adulting… These situations always result in both of us being upset with the other person. I always apologize and try to smooth things over. Today I even bought her a nice breakfast trying to fix the bad feelings between us. I am really struggling! If I do not give her what she wants she reminds me of some thing she gave to me even if I never asked for it. She gets angry and calls me “whinny”. I li St t my husband 3 years ago and because of the cost of living crisis couldn’t afford to stay in my home. I moved in with my daughter and 14 year old granddaughter it worked fine at first but my daughter has a new partner and he is moving in with us (they’ve only been together 5 months) her attitude towards me has changed she has no patience with me she’s abrupt doesn’t listen to anything I say and this is despite me doing all the cooking and ironing working 16 hours a week and tending to my granddaughters animals. I feel completely used and disrespected. By the way I also give my daughter 90% of my money. I really don’t know what to do

Atossa, in the Greek tragedy The Persians, has been seen as struggling in her dreams with a Jocasta complex. [8] When I have asked him if he has talked to her it’s always an excuse and then sometimes I don’t think he does tell her because the things I have complained about it is still happening. I don’t know I guess, I am here because I am to my breaking point and I feel like having the same conversation just isn’t sufficing. I truly feel like I am going insane. This is most of my stress. I feel like I am being taken advantage of. I have done plenty for her an him but I just feel like it is a take and take some more kind of environment.My adult daughter has mental illness not taking meds hospitalized every other month about to be evicted from her apartment. She can’t live with me. I don’t want to or not sure if I should get power of attorney. I don’t know what to do. I will research legal matters before making a decision. I told him that dont forget you still have a mother. You are not married yet so i guess i still have the right to know if you are okay..because i love my children so much. Even though we live in a time where we recognise that nothing in gender is fixed, it remains a fact that the influence of a mother on her son is massive. Eric Berne also explored the other (parental) side of the Oedipus complex, pointing to related family dramas such as "mother sleeping with daughter's boyfriend ... when mother has no son to play Jocasta with". [5]

How do you avoid enabling adult children, particularly when your adult child is demanding and needy (and perhaps has been that way throughout childhood)? Begin with setting boundaries with adult children and keep the goal of independence in mind. Work together to establish expectations. Talk openly about challenges and be honest in your communication about hurts and hopes. Adult Children Taking Advantage of Parents Im worried that if I push to hard I will push her towards them but I also want her to know that Im worried that she will get caught up in something bad. How do I navigate a way through to help her see they are bad news. Our adult daughter is bipolar and is having a hard time keeping jobs and relationships. As a result, she lives with her grandmother and isn’t making any progress towards independence, saving money or paying for her car/or insurance. How do we navigate through this with such a fragile personality as we are not affluent enough financially? And don’t want to further enable. I am seeking help on how to better my relationship with her. She is 43 and i am 65. She blames me for her insecurities, and anxiety. I read about overwhelming mother…..after reading that i may be overwhelming at times and will try to not do that….She keeps blaming me for her anxiety and insecurities . She is a very well educated person hold a very high post. I thought i brought up my kids well, it seems like i may not have. I don’t know what to do. I am so dumbfounded. Yes it was hard for me when i had kids…i had 4 children by age of 34. I did work very very hard to put them to the best school and paid for their undergrade degrees. I nurtured and cared for them to the best of my knowledge…. Maggie is one of Australia’s most popular parenting educators and her seminars about boys have sold out all across Australia and in the UK. She is finally sharing her insights, her reflections, and (as always) her humour around mothering boys in this book that will help you be the mum your son needs you to be.

A mother-and-son team of strange supernatural creatures move to a small town to seek out a young virgin to feed on. Your post was helpful and made me feel a little more normal in my feelings and situation. My oldest is 41, unmarried and had two sons she’s 19 and 10. Last year she got an apartment with a man she met on the internet. He lived in another state and after meeting him just twice he moved here and they moved in together. I begged her just to date him until they knew each other better but she wouldn’t listen. I told her if she and the boys left my home this time she could not return and she agreed. A few months ago he left and they had both just signed a new lease. She can’t afford the rent and is begging to come home. This will be the 7th time she had done this and I feel like my house has a revolving door. My husband died 7 years ago and our 38 year old son with Muscular Dystrophy lives with me. I feel torn and beaten down as she says hurtful things now that I’m not bending. I also worry about my grandsons. I’m at my wits end. I want her to learn to be independent. I don’t want to enable her. What to do?
