What's he doing running to Mommy at age

So now it's gone way past enabling and bullying -- making you doubt your own perception is
gaslighting! That worsens the matter a hundredfold!

The difference is that my brother knows he has a problem and has been asking for help for years. My husband doesnt think he has a problem....
... and when my mom posted an uplifting post about strong women and told me that my kindness and willingness to help people is always appreciated, his mother posted on her own Facebook "what a joke".

Joke's on you, Mommy-in-law -- it's not her job to "untangle your son's skein!"

Please add my agreement. All the usual issues
plus mother-enmeshment is bad news indeed.

**Note: The links here are to one of my favorite blogs,
Chump Lady. While it's a support site for victims of infidelity, much of her advice is useful in other matters of dysfunction as well. Under "Chumps Decoded" is a post called "Untangling the Skein of F***upedness." I tried to post a direct link, but since the URL contains the f-word, Psych Central's software censors it, causing a "Page Not Found" error. Sorry.
