[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know families where this happened? I know several: overbearing mothers who never let their daughters grow up/become independent. When the daughters are in the thirties and forties, they still live with their moms. The ones I know all work, but didn’t marry and never developed emotional independence. I think it’s a form of child abuse. [/quote] If daughter is grown and employed, how is this child abuse?[/quote] It’s called enmeshed parenting. I know a few people like that, not one is disabled or has any health issues, but each one has a very overbearing mother. I usually see it go one of two ways: either the daughter moves as far away as possible, or the daughter can never let go (has been stifled emotionally since childhood) and never launches. Coincidentally, 2 of the women l I know are teachers, one works in the family business, and one is a nurse.[/quote]
