"Wag the dog so-to-speak?"
How to cut apron strings
Looking for some input/ suggestions... I know a guy, very wonderful guy (only child) who is 35 yrs old and still lives at home (claims hes never had the $ to leave cause he has to pay for everything mom wants or get a huge guilt trip/bitching at). He is afraid to stand up to his mother. He hides the fact that he drinks a few beers, dips, and most importantly has a wife!! Been married for over a year but still cant tell his mom... His father knows hes married and is cool with it. Neither will say a word to her. Why?
And what can anyone do to help him realize his relationship with his controlling, manipulative, extremely over protective mother is very toxic to him and his marriage? To a women, whom I might add, that hes been in love with and waited for for over 15 yrs. Can anything be done to help him cut the apron strings and become the true man he was meant to be?

This guy sounds like a he has a very nice personality. Unfortunately for you, the four folks you talk about all are living in their own special little worlds of crazy.
You simply can't help someone who doesn't want to help themself. Unfortunately too bad for your excellent intentions and concern.
