Priscilla

I don't know.

Do you know?

She would make him do things, or she would yell, have a tantrum, and he would have to change plans.

So many times we made plans and he would have to change them because his mom wanted to do something different or she felt left out, etc.

Like on almost every holiday that we went on, I don't know if you recall, she was always with us.

That was not because I enjoyed having her around, but it was because I knew that she would make his life harder if she didn't come.

And I didn't want to make things more difficult for him, so I gave in.

The entire marriage.

She wanted to basically be his parent.

She wanted to be involved in in-depth decisions, which school he went to, what activities he did.

And she would assert her involvement through Alan.

So Alan and I would discuss one thing.

And then tomorrow he would come back and be like, actually, let's do this, that, and that.

And I'm like, why?

Were you talking to your mother?

You know, to be so obvious that, okay, no, his mother said something to him.

She does not agree with the decision that we made.

And things like that, I would just override him and I'll just be like, no.

And then I would just go ahead and do what I thought was best.

what we had initially agreed on.
