[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 300566, member: 1550"] Thanks, Susie and Terry. Yes, she is the child of divorce and alcoholism and is a control freak. She will never go to ACOA though. She doesn't believe in "labels." Yes, one of those. So she is not going to admit she is the way she is because of her parents. And she would never do anything I suggested or even that son suggested. At this point in time, she is only listening to herself and her sister. She is in therapy, but she told son about her session and basically she did not really touch any deep issues. It was more about how "demanding" (that's the word her therapist used) my son has been to expect her to not tell all of their marital issues to her sister, who is trying to get them divorced (she didn't mention the second part). But son agrees that he has no right to tell her who to talk to about anything. He knows he has a tendency to be controlling and is trying to learn not to be that way. However, he also needs a sounding board, and that is me. I can only imagine how angry his wife would be if she knew. With her there are double standards. However, I'm not going to tell her that my son confides in me. [/QUOTE]
