[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be entirely truthful: The whole situation is weird. They invite family over to sing their kid's praises. Again. They did that already at the graduation party. They want more family worship? That's a little too navel-gazing. And then they work themselves up to the point where the mother cries multiple times? OK, maybe she's in perimenopause (aren't we all?), and depressed, because her life revolves around this one kid. But it makes the relatives very uncomfortable. Just because they're family, she doesn't get to dump her emotions on them. OP, my takeway is that they've lived their life wrapped up in their child to an exceedingly unhealthy degree, and you're only now seeing the full extent of their obsession. I'm a total mother hen, but I'm not pathologically obsessed... [/quote] What must it be like to be such a negative and unhappy person?[/quote]
