Regarding your son, she doesn't sound wrong from this limited information. Men need to be trusted to figure out their own problems. Your coddling or worry can cripple or stunt his growth. I watched my mother do it to every male in my family. They're losers. It is what it is. One became a drug user with poor credit that works for minimum wage and despises women. The other is a ninny with no ambition that has never fully supported his family without help -- his wife cheated on him every year for 20 years. They're still together because he lacks confidence and why should he have confidence when his mother bails him out and says, "Awww my poor baby," to all of his life struggles.

Bleeding hearts are ineffective, especially with males. This can be a lesson you learn the hard way. I give this unsolicited advice to try and help you to trust your son and lead him to a better destiny. Don't fix his problems. It's not supportive. It's crippling and selfish. You have to learn live with worry..
