[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 19552, member: 2389"] Barbara ~ You are very correct in your statement that it has nothing to do with you. And also that you can't understand it because you were not there in the home and raised by her. in my humble opinion I think husband needs to seek counsel to be able to cut whatever strings mom still have on him. For him to react in a way that he knows is uncomfortable for you and him as well, is letting you know that he does not have a handle on this I can't remember the book you were reading, but I do remember answering a question about my mom and the dynamics of our relationship, maybe the book would shed some light on this? I do know that what happened so long ago to all of her children was significant enough to make them jump and respond to her request. Who knows, something regarding hunger or maybe how much she was spending to feed them all could have been yelled at them on a daily basis. Maybe that has something to do with husband spending 75 @ 3 in the afternoon when she was the only one that wanted something. Maybe guilt from feeling like she spent all she had on the children and nothing for herself? And maybe she reminded your husband of this on a daily basis? [/QUOTE]
