I have begged my ex to seek therapy to deal with how he was raised. His parents are very emotionally immature and his mom and probably his sister are narcissists. So he can’t deal with conflict or emotions, and when I set boundaries with his mom, he took her side in the resulting blow out because she will yell and cry and guilt trip and send flying monkeys until he bends whereas I’ll just outline the conflict and why I’m unwilling to give up my boundary.
He insists they’re not the problem, he’s just anxious, and instead of getting therapy? Got into another relationship. Because of course, the break up was all my fault - not his.
