[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op. If it’s a mistake, he’ll figure it out.

He’s not going to say later, mom, why didn’t you warn me? Last thing on his mind.

You don’t have a role here. [/quote]
I know. I don't want a role at all but he is venting to me. All I tell him is that his feelings are valid but he has to take action, decide what he wants his life to look like, and put his foot down to her if he wants things to chance.

Luckily he has a counseling appointment this week. [/quote]

I don't know why some posters are telling you to back off. You don't have to give him step by step instructions but if he's reaching out to you, clearly he needs advice; and luckily he trusts you enough to go to you about it. Tell him that if he wants things to change, he needs to be honest with her on how he feels suffocated and controlled. Communication and honesty always win in relationships. Maybe she'll accept it or not, but he has to do his part and be transparent with her. And if she continues acting manipulative or play the victim card, then he has to make a decision on whether he wants to be in that kind of relationship or not.  [/quote]
