Once he hooked up with a girlfriend his mom got left in the dust. I remember when he left her she looked a little shell shocked.

Well she spent a year taking care of him in Houston and then he summarily  abandoned her.  Mom was in a wheel chair at that point and pretty obese herself + 30 years on him.   This guy is rushing into this wedding with this chick - and vice versa. A lot of these people have no idea how to transition into normal lives.  They are fantasy-based.

Joe is now on my shit list. He threw momma from the train once he got a girl giving him some attention. Now he's like "welp I have to move on with my life too bad Mom can't make it to my wedding". Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........

It seems she bend over backwards to help him and once he didn't need her he dropped her like a sack of potatoes. Not impressed.

These third year follow-ups are boring.  So far, most of the patients are backsliding or doing nothing, making no real progress with their lives.  Ya know - it underscores that life is lived from the inside out.  If you don't develop your mind, your skills, your emotional health - weight loss will not be permanent or transformative.

I don't want to hear Pauline whining about Pauline. Try whining about how fucked your son's life is.

 Amen sister! I was from a very dysfunctional alcoholic family. When I was younger I was broken. I did not have kids for that very reason!  I made sure that there were no children that I would break. Everybody has problems, but when you decide to procreate and bring a life into the world, you need to get your act together  because it's not about you anymore. So she is really irritating me at this point,  because, her son does not factor into her thinking at all! Again, another addict with her hostage and she is perfectly OK with that. Well, at least she's not saying how she needs to get a act together because of her kid  and then never does it. I will give her that.

I agree.  I do not mind Joe, I simply do not care how he does the rest of his life.
