[quote=Anonymous]Well, here's an example. 40-something SIL lives with MIL. SIL is able-bodied, has a college degree, lots of talent, and possible job opportunities. MIL has $, fairly good health, and doesn't have to work. Instead of encouraging SIL , MIL makes clear every decision they make or thing they do is not what she would do or as good as she would do it. When SIL was in her 20's, she had job opportunities in NYC. Instead of encouraging her, MIL told her she would never make it there and discouraged her from moving away. SIL has low self-esteem as MIL's constant jabs for 40 years makes her second-guess every instinct. Because of this, SIL doesn't have a full-time job lives in MIL's house, thus accomplishing MIL's goal of keeping SIL close to her. [/quote]
