Enmeshment is a relationship dynamic where personal boundaries are unclear or permeable, often on an emotional level. In enmeshed relationships, people may feel each other's emotions, or one person's emotional state may escalate and be mirrored by another family member. People in enmeshed relationships may also be overly connected and lose touch with their own needs, goals, and feelings.
Boys/Men can become enmeshed with either or both parents, but more typically become enmeshed with their mother. A boy who has played the role of surrogate companion to his mother feels engulfed, enmeshed, smothered, and intruded upon. His wants and needs have merged with hers and the boy’s identity is lost. Burdened with excessive feelings of guilt and disloyalty regarding their own wishes, these men have lost their sense of self and submerged their most basic needs and wants.
