Although this is generally rare, it is possible. Sometimes though, the above relationships can become more than just unhealthy, but illegal and immoral. When Unhealthy Becomes Immoral and Illegal Although that sounds fine, they do it to the extreme and the psychological health of both parties is put at risk. In these relationships, the children and parent rely on each other to fulfill their emotional needs – to make them feel healthy, whole or just good. There are also relationships known as ‘enmeshed’ parent-child relationships. However, just because the husband/dad is not shaping up to the man he should be or is not there to take on the responsibility of his role, it doesn’t mean the son should be seen as a substitute. In some ways, it may feel natural for her to turn to her son, as the next closest thing to a male partner. It could also be that he is not giving the level of emotional support that the woman needs or is abusing her. It may be that the husband/dad is not living with the family anymore or has died. There are unhealthy mother-son relationships where the mother will replace the relationship she should have with her partner for an emotional one of the same kind with her son. However, it is when they become too overprotective that the relationship becomes unhealthy not just for the son, but the mother also. And mothers should be protective of their children. It is important for the son to have a close relationship with his mother while he is growing up, for a secure base for him to develop and explore who he wants to be. It seems that mums, in general, have a difficult time letting go of their sons, when it is time for them to mature and break out in the world on their own. In the relationship, if you are too close, it can spell danger for you both. However, there is a line that should never be crossed.

#A WIFE AND A MOTHER HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO HOW TO#
Closeness between the two of you can help him to communicate better in life and learn how to understand and express their emotions better. If you are involved in the kind of relationship, whether you are a mother or a son, it is a good and healthy thing. This is not to say it is wrong for a mother and son to be close. As resentment can become guilt and vice versa, a horrible cycle starts. This can cause the son to feel regret and guilt if he doesn’t stay in contact with his mother but also resent her expectations. If a son still considers his mother to be the main priority in his life, before even his partner, the relationship is very unhealthy. It is not healthy for a son to rely on the help of his mother to make decisions. When the mother makes all the decisions for her son, this can make it incredibly hard for him to escape from this pattern of dependence.
