[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your husband might suffer from a very common issue, mother-son enmeshment. I would encourage you to get and read this book, and if it rings bells, offer it to your husband to read. It is never too late to heal from a toxic upbringing, and to learn relationship skills that can help reignite love in a marriage and help forge stronger relationships with one’s children, too.

OP here. He absolutely was enmeshed with his toxic, bitter, controlling mother AND he is still enmeshed with his father.  They have overshadowed and ruined all of his relationships outside them. He has no confidants beyond them. I spent years buying him books and discussing to try to get him to see it. Now, I've left him to his family. I can't spend my life trying to pry this man-child from his family. I don't even want him anymore.[/quote]
