When is a mother/son relationship unhealthily close when that son has been married for several years. What are signs?
Is it daily phone calls or lengthy hour long phone calls every few days which is the case in this instance. She only calls him directly.
When they talk about extended family issues about people you never even knew existed. Shouldn't I know these people?
What are signs he is not 'leaving and cleaving' that the wife should be aware of and how does she address it considering she's asked him before to maybe cut the cord a little.
Also, would it make a difference if they recently became closer because of a sudden illness in their immediate (my extended) family? And even if this is the case, does that mean 'no boundaries', forget he is a father and husband first and call whenever and for however long you want? She left him a message asking him to call her because something happened in the household of the sick person and she wanted him to call his sister to calm her down. Mother left him a message at midnight and he called her when he checked his voice mail at 6:30 in the morning.
I find that weird. What can he do? He's states away...why does she need to call him so late at night for something he has no control over? THis is not the norm but the extreme version ever since the illness in the family. Before this they still speak to eachother every other day.
