Now I'm not the one to usually pay attention to any situation that isn't directly effecting me, but after non stop bitching and so many truths being revealed I had to make a post so to speak.

One of my good buddies is currently dealing with his mother. A little background info on my Buddy, 23, first to graduate college in his family,moved to the American mainland (From Puerto Rico) working at a decent job making good entry money, ambitious, very extroverted, well liked by just about everyone.

His mom? Single mother, living with her boyfriend sometimes,no place of her own, no decent amount of money coming in, didn't graduate college, very manipulative.

My buddy moved in with other friends of ours after staying rent free with people from church, even though they controlled almost every aspect of his life. He got tired of feeling like a moocher and moved in with our friends. What happens? His mom decides to surprise him and visit him and stay for a month, after "having a place set up that feel out of place."

Now he hasn't seen his mom in about a year and I can somewhat understand seeing your mother after awhile. While she's down here she completely bitches about every single thing."Why are you working out? Why did you leave the last place? It was free! Why don't you spend time with me?(he works every single day making $$).

Things hit a big head last night when she literally randomly bitched at him from 11pm to 5am. Now get this, he has been financially providing for her nagging ass since COLLEGE! He's been improving himself and on his own swallowed the pill (self improvement, finances, women, the world etc.) Now She's throwing her insecurities and projection upon him and making him miserable. When he was financially providing for her and remaining stagnant everything was peachy keen. When he began actively providing for himself and started cutting her off, she became vindictive and played the victim manipulation card. And he called it.

My point is, even your mother can be a manipulative cunt when you try to progress and improve. Does this happen is most cases? Probably not. But it CAN happen. Manipulation is a woman's game. Simple. The moment you try to improve and it begins to show, the people close to you will try and pull this shit. I'm glad he's kicking her to the curve. This is a solo journey.
