She's trying to keep him that age coz she's in denial about max as well as other areas of her life she's got a very long road ahead with max and because she hasn't educated herself it will be all the more difficult.It’s so hard to pick up on emotional and narcissistic abuse. He’s fed, clothed and attends school, she won’t be hurting him physically… questionable if she isn’t taking heed of drug interactions but other than that she will get away with it.
She treats him like a 2 year old and it’s quite disturbing.
