A friend of mine who I've often talked to a, shes going on 40 and still acts likes shes 5 yrs of age, needing her mothers approval for everything and needing her permission to breathe. Shes had a difficult relationship with her mum all her life and talks constantly about what a bitch she is and how she wants her out of her life but then it's like she cant stop talking about her at the same time either. Every time were together that's all I ever hear is what her mother has done recently to upset her and I think but you havent lived with her since your 18, why are you letting her do this to you? She has a diary that she writes in and she often reads excerpts of it to me and nearly every single entry is a diatribe of things her mum did or said when she was a child or things shes argued about recently with her. If she doesnt make the decision to take control of her own life rather than let her mum continue to run it for her shes going to continue needing nappies until shes an old woman. I've tried to tell her so many times she has to move on with her life and kick her mum to the curb but I think now at going in 40 shes let her mum control her for so long that's all she knows and I think its comfortable for her. She also gets an incredible amount of attention because of her constant woes. Shes even been known to harp onto strangers in bars when we've gone out for a drink about her mum. I know all her friends could do with not hearing about her mother every 5seconds. What's astonishing is that she comes across to everyone as this really confident liberal woman and yet she is anything but that. Has anyone else had friend like this that are stuck in this kind of child/parent trap where they havent grown up yet? I feel like shes just throwing her whole life away.
