A lot of parents need to get a life. Some are WAY too involved in their children's lives. It leads to crazy dysfunctional behavior when they become adults. Here's a story out of Austria that takes the cake.

A woman from the town of Klagenfurt was fined 360 euros
($478) on a charge of stalking her adult son. It was the son who filed
the lawsuit, claiming that his mother called him up to 49 times a day
for a period of 2.5 years.

The woman's words to an Austrian newspaper reveal the
pain of broken relationships within a family: "I just wanted to talk to
him," she said. "I can't talk to my son, nor my daughter. I've never
seen my grandchild, who is already 15-years-old."
