My entitled mother-in-law thinks that she owns her son, constantly demanding all these awful

things out of him, while also ignoring the fact that he has horrible anxiety literally caused by

her. And now that we're moving out and moving away, she's demanding that we stay closer

so that we can meet her needs and still fall in the same cycle that my fiancee has dealt

with his entire life. And at this point, we're honestly so frustrated that we seriously don't know what to do. Here's what happened. Okay, so my fiancé and I have been dealing with his mother, who is the entitled parent of this story. For a bit of background information to help explain, my fiance, who I will refer to as Tom, lost his father young to a brain tumor. He was 10 when he passed away, so for the past

10 years, it's been him and his mom. His mom has controlled a lot of aspects of his life,

down to keeping his meds and not letting him explore options for medication, while Tom has fibromyalgia

and suffers from anxiety to the point where he's throwing up when he tries to travel. Tom had a

really awful experience with

his father's death, so his anxiety is based around medical situations and death itself. Despite knowing

this, his mother has constantly shown tough love, which to her means little to no empathy and

constantly pushing Tom to do things he's unable to. When living at home, he would cook for her and

clean for her and make her bed, as well as walk the dogs and feed them, make her coffee whenever she asked for it, or even look after his grandma, do the laundry, mow the lawn, basically anything she can't bother to be doing herself. I mean, the list goes on and on. As I mentioned earlier, he has fibromyalgia, which means he is in pain most of the time,

and things like making the bed would leave him having to lay down for hours throughout his life.

His mom has talked him in and out of so many situations against his own better judgment,

beginning with what GCSEs that he took just to his image and self-expression. And for reference,

these are some very important tests that you take in the United Kingdom.

His mother has been a centerpoint of his anxiety too, mainly because of the ways that she is with him,

insisting he's the only one who can help her with his grandmother and more guilt-tripping tactics.

Tom has stated that he can't go through the process of a terminal illness, taking over another person he loves,

and yet his mom seems to think that she has him and only him. Basically, everything with her

is an issue if not to her liking. When we began dating, Tom opened up to me about her,
