Thanks

Nope. But just know that you can't change her, only she can change this. With friends who have done this, I found that it is helpful to point out the behavior and link it to other incidents. But with a mom, they probably won't listen.

I lived wth a loser for 10 years and in the end it comes down to self esteem. Help them believe they are worth something and I bet they become more select in the men they chose.

Can the two of you volunteer together at the local hospital or church?

Or both of you join a bowling league, join a group that plays cards every week,
dancing lessons?

Above friends are so correct that she is the one that must change her behavior.
Meeting some new friends is always good.
