The happiness thief

Comments: 2     Stars : 0

My mate's girlfriend's mother is a Happiness Thief. Her reason for being is simply to stop other people being happy. She is one of those people who can only be happy by being miserable. To her, a good day is complaining about people who ae being friendly (they are nosey); people who try to help (they are so false); her daughters having their own life (they are so self-centered).

The biggest stealing of happiness is done through her daughter (my mate's g/f). Mother cannot stand to see daughter happy, so she is doing all she can to be an obstacle. She is starting fights, rows and so on. Any time daughter plans something with b/f, mother reminds her of 'plans'. She is over-bearing and over dominating. She has stolen her daughter's happiness, as her own mother did to her once.

Now, my mate is becoming a happiness thief. He is so down over the way daughter, happiness-thief-in-training is treating him, he's bringing everyone else down. My happiness, my wife's happiness, our friends' happiness - all disappearing into a black hole, originating with mate's gf's mother.

There is only one solution - PLEASE DUMP HER!!!

There IS another option, and that would be for your mate, if he is truly committed to her, to urge his g/f to to go to and him possibly attend with her classes or sessions with a counselor which would help her to break the strangling connection with her mother whilst she is still young enough to salvage her life. I know a lot about what you are speaking because my own mother was very similar. I wish many times I had severed the ties with certain members of my family early on, gone somewhere else and made my own way. Sometimes people are just too toxic to be around. If your mate loves his woman, he might just be the one to help her. It's just a thought.

If he can help her, certainly I would encourage him to do it. As a mate, my first thought is his wellbeing as she's seriously messing up his head and has the nerve to blame him. She seemed so nice six months ago - it would be nice for us to be wrong about her though!
