Is this a dysfunctional friendship?

My mom constantly talks about her one friend all the time. She drags her into every conversation. The friend is going to come live with us next month. Free of charge, I'm sure. And I must say I always wondered if the relationship between the two is that of lesbianism. If not, it is way too dysfunctional to be considered a healthy friendship. My mom waits on her hand and foot. She is almost like a slave to this woman.

OP is weird.

I would also like to add that my mom buys this woman a boatload of food. Helps her find a job.

Not looking forward to see her move in with us considering that she pretty much is jealous of how much money my mom puts into me as well as how much attention my dad funnels into raising me.

Nobody cares what you think, stupid. It's her life.

And nobody is jealous of an illiterate.

R3 I wouldn't express my thoughts on her if that woman wasn't moving into our house where I have to see her constantly.

OP Just watch and wait. Eventually you'll put all of the pieces of the puzzle together once you see them living in the same house.

by Anonymousreply 6November 4, 2015 5:09 AM

How long has she been friends with this woman, OP?

You'd be surprised what kinds of things you don't know about their relationship. I think as you age you end up with friends like that on occasion. Maybe from the outside the friendship may not make sense or even seem dysfunctional but the root of it may have been the reason why these two hooked up in the first place. Also, just maybe, it's not your business.

R6 is right. You will see very quickly what is happening between them. Plus what function should frendship serve? If your mum is not lonely, that is a functional friendship.

But them a bottle of wine and leave them alone.

After she moves in, try to smell your mom's friend's breath in the morning when she wakes up and before she's had any coffee, tea or nanaimo bars. If it smells like an open can of clams left in a car in July, then you know ...

Why is she moving in, does it have anything to do with your dad leaving?

Move out, it's time... the longer you wait, the more difficult it will be.

by Anonymousreply 11November 4, 2015 5:33 AM

R11, she's like her plush toy. She lived with us for a year or so before she moved out. Now she's moving back but I don't think it has anything to do with my dad leaving. He's pretty powerless in the household.

by Anonymousreply 12November 4, 2015 5:40 AM

Is she moving her friend into your bedroom with you, OP?

by Anonymousreply 13November 4, 2015 5:53 AM

No she will be in the room opposite mine.

My heavens! Of lesbianism? Lesbianism!

Get me a bromide, and put some gin in it!

Your mother is so desperate for you to get a job and move out, that she's moving in this annoying woman in to put pressure on you.

Take a hint, Adam Lanza!

Even if 23 is true (I am leaning toward 37), that is way too old to be whining about your mom's personal life and jealous over competition for her resources and energy put into 'raising you'

I don't even have a response to this, I am so shocked. You are waaaay told old for this, OP.

John, I thought that you were busy studying for your NCLEXRN exam or whatever it is. Isn't your dad moving out? What happened to your roommate?

Mom: Fuck, kill or marry?

My dad is moving out three months after my nclex date. My roommate is still here.

If you can move in a roommate, so can your mother.

I didn't know the roommate prior to her living here. My mom was the one who found her.

Just give your mom's friend a big pile of used textbooks, and that should keep her busy while you prepare for the future in your program.

Why do I get the feeling that this ends with John dressing up like his mother and stabbing this woman to death in a motel shower?

by Anonymousreply 33November 4, 2015 4:53 PM

It's John. So, the household includes dryer-gestapo mother, wimpy father, crazy-ass moocher John, a roomate AND now the potential lesbian lover of dryer-gestapo mom. How the neighbors must love them. It's the Canadian dream! Can you guys imagine the pageant of weird, skittering entrances and exits in that house? The muffled shouts and plaintiff whimpers heard by passersby who glance nervously up at the clouded, barred windows? The faint smell of onions and death which waft from the basement on damp days? "What is that?" asks an innocent neighbor lady of her husband. She hears scratching sounds. Is it a squirrel or some other indigenous Canadian vermin in the attic? No. The sound is coming from the walls. A mouse. No. "Dear God, Walter!" She screams as she stumbles back from the window. "It's that peculiar, spindly boy from next door! He has textbooks in his talons! He hissed my name!" But, the husband doesn't believe her. "Ya know, Molly," he chuckles. "The mother is a dyke." Later that night, Walter finds Molly's lifeless, eyelid-free body in the driveway half-way between the two houses.

I am picturing a bitter, frustrated, but still undefeated Tiger Mom. She got stuck with a ne'er-do-well faggot aspie son, and a husband who lost interest, stopped fucking her years ago. She is going to try a new adventure and WISELY not with a man, who only disappoint, and fail at everything. Go mom!

Wait, I'm confused -- your mother moved a female roommate in with you, whom you'd never met prior to that? Does she live in the basement with you?

by Anonymousreply 42November 6, 2015 9:45 AM

By the way, John's mom is clearly running a cathouse. OP's roommate is the first employee, and mom's friend is the new recruit.

Maybe she'll pay them to take your virginity! Just close your eyes and picture two really beautiful eyelids.

I'm still confused by r34 being upset that he/she misspelled "roommate" but left the phrase "plaintiff whimpers" on this thread like...well, a porch turd.

plain·tive ˈplān(t)iv/ adjective sounding sad and mournful. "a plaintive cry" synonyms:tmournful, sad, wistful, doleful, pathetic, pitiful, piteous, melancholy, sorrowful, unhappy, wretched, woeful, forlorn, woebegone; literarydolorous "a plaintive cry"

I am 35 and her only daughter. Last year we went on the Alaska cruise of her dreams. She had saved for eight years to afford it for the two of us and I went and made her dream come true. No, I am not looking forward to this "friend" coming to stay one bit. She has all sorts of projects planned for her and my mom. If they come through, she won't have the money for the Costa Rica trip we've planned for the fall.
