Hi,
Since my mom and dad were teenage boyfriend and girlfriend he was very extremely jealous and possive. He has always believed that she has cheated on him...he believes it can be with anybody, even family. He dreams of killing her and her lover (s). He always has this mood swings, like for example, for a month or so he would happy and all, but then he goes back to the same routine of "Did YOU cheat on me?". He says he can't believe he has survived this, and he harasses my Mom. And even one time he was like "Just tell my the truth, how did your boyfriends touch you when you were having sex.", my mom fell for his little honest trip, and she told him, and then he goes beyond crazy! And he's like "I can just imagine the way they were touching your body..." and it goes beyond bizzare.
And just to make this clear, my mom has NEVER cheated on him.
So is there some disorder/ or whatever that he has? Thanks!

It definitely sounds like he has very low self-esteem, and of course, jealousy issues. Could your Mom get him to go see a marriage counselor or therapist?
Perhaps his trust issues are so major that he cannot trust anyone, even her?
