I agree with you it's a phase, however I would stress condom use or even get her on the pill. You don't want a phase now to last forever because he thought the pull out method would work.

I disagree. The message was sent and received. It's now time for both parents to shut the h*** up.
Yeah, she's concerned, but not for the right reasons. She's not a mature woman, just an older girl.
Your son is 19 and has the maturity of a teenager! So it's ok for your kid to be immature at 19, but not a woman he dates? Talk about a double standard!
#6 - why don't you just say "because you are wrong for saying the nasty comments about the gf - I told you that and yet you still insist on fighting with your own son"?
Because that requires having a pair and using them.

She's talking about the wife, not the girlfriend. The wife is not a mature woman, but an older girl.
Did you ever tell your wife that she's way out of line? Sounds like your son is the only one that stands up to her.

It's time for the OP/dad to grow a pair and tell the wife enough is enough!
If you are not strong enough to do it on your own, then go back into therapy to work on those weak dangling medallions!

On his own, your son has had to figure out how not to be run over by his mother. He sure didn't get an example from you. The mother screams - the father cowers and shakes. The son needs to get out of there ASAP to live his own life. At the end of the day, you might very well lose your son and later grandchildren - your wife through her bullying and you from your cowardice.
Ah, well, you have each other, huh?
I think 90% of the posters here prefer Rachel and her tattoos over the family (I do, and I don't even like tatoos) - how do you think your son feels?

Ahh....the wife sounds like a 13 year old! Kind of insulting to 13 year old girls. They have a reason for acting that way....they are after all only 13.
Maybe mom is actually feeling freaked out because the GF is a "mirror image" of herself?
Yes. That's what I'm thinking. Remember she had the son at 18. Maybe she just doesn't want him to go down the same path.
I'm not saying she's handling this correctly. She has some serious issues. But she could be coming from the right place.
