[quote=Anonymous]People close rank and are loyal to their own regardless of what they know on an intellectual level. It’s an interesting question that I’ve been contemplating because I watched a neighbor go through his and his mom has really wrapped him in care like he’s a 10 year old boy. And my DH is certainly in the midst of early stages of one, and when I’ve been able to step out of how I feel and look at it clinically, it’s clear that his mom sees it as a time to baby him and that he just needs lots of extra love. Same for my brother- even though my mom was judgey in how she spoke to me about it, towards my brother she was unconditional in her support and dismissal of any critics or pushback from others. I think a lot of relatives probably find a way to see the little kid they once knew inside the mess because their relationship isn’t built on them being two equal adults. [/quote]
