I agree, I don’t think she is wanting that either. I have been pushing that she needs to move closer to other family and that I too wish too want to be close to my family. I’m from the Florida panhandle and her other son, aunt, sister are only a couple hours away. We all moved to South Fl which is 8 hrs away from my home. I’ve been very stern that I don’t want to be away from my family anymore especially after experiencing loss for the first time. I felt if she moved closer to other family, M and I can actually grow in our relationship and move on. I’ve also been very stern with him in moments of frustration by saying “I cannot all live together, and I need my space.”

That makes me extremely uneasy to think emotional incest. I knew this wasn’t normal. He also texts her every morning before work to tell her he loves her and to have a good day. I feel they are more in a relationship than him and I…

I do not know how to bring up their unhealthy relationship to him. I don’t want to hurt him and I also don’t want him to shrug me off as jealous. I’m afraid he will never see what’s going on and psychotherapy isn’t really an option for him. I believe you are right, and that leaving the relationship may be my only option which makes me deeply sad. 🙁 Maybe it’s time to be alone and face everything I’ve been running.

Oh and no I didn’t graduate, I left with him and felt nursing wasn’t really meant for me. I do feel if he never came back in my life I would have still finished.  I have been thinking about going back to school now that I’m back home.

Thank you so much Anita for taking the time and giving me insight!
