That's pretty tough going for your friend. In truth though, isn't it better to find this out now and not after the wedding, that this guy will always put his mother first. Sound like his mother did your friend a favor. I sure wouldn't want my husbands mother telling me how to run my family or kids and it sounds like that's what would have happened if they married. I just find it hard to believe this hadn't surfaced in the 7 years until now.

Has far as his mother...no one deserves to be hit. I would have filed charges immediately. I think your friend is lucky to find this out now....instead of ending up on one of the talk shows.
