[QUOTE="Steely, post: 470793, member: 3301"] Glad the preacher is gone....yay! Sounds like your Mom is trying to "fix" things - which so many of us do. I just had a pretty big argument with my Mom about this same thing. She was just barreling into Matt's life and taking charge - and it wasn't OK. He is a grown man. But I had to really call her on it, and tell her how it was affecting him for her to get it. I am still not sure if she would know to stop if another situation presented itself to her....sometimes Mom's are just hardwired to FIX. It stinks for those of us who are their daughters - but all we can do is try to help them see how it affects us or others. (Of course look at what I did - stick up for Matt to my Mom. He could have done it himself. Yes, it takes awhile to stop "fixing".) [/QUOTE]
