I married someone who was that way (abused child) but he left me soon afterwards because I was not obedient and he found a more malleable target. I had figured out my mistake by then, had little pain, and was given a wonderful son.
My son was soon going to be deployed and was involved with an unstable girl. I had my brother talk to him about being involved during deployment because coming from him and not a meddling mom made a big difference. He is now married to a wonderful woman.
Your advice is excellent.
Unfortunately, the psycho gf’s sabotage methods include keeping my son busy-busy with her high-maintenance demands and girly-girl activities, while subtly leaving him guy-time or energy for his father or friends.
She has managed to isolate him, so she is his only companion.
She invents fake —and trivial—crises to demand that he leave work (he has his own business) and attend to her. He’s losing clients because of her.
I told him the sex can’t be that great, and he stopped speaking to me for months. I can only listen if he wants to call and complain about her, and hope he wakes up from her spell.
She is a very pretty, charming, sugary sweet girl. Cotton candy with fish hooks inside.
