A mem is literally made a slave by the mother. They are made to obey and work for the mom or she gets upset and withdraws affection and love and any kind of communication. She will make sure her little mama's boy knows he was disrespectful if he does anything that mother does not agree with. My MEM bought a skate board as a teenager. His mother didn't agree with it and made sure he knew. Everybody had skate boards but he didn't even end up riding it because it made it mother so upset. He was enslaved, he was her property. She determined what he could and couldn't do, what was acceptable behavior and what wasn't. He only knew he needed to obey or he would have to face the uncomfortable consequences.
A MEM is a slaves but does not realize he is, he has been brainwashed to think he is only the loving, caring, good son who takes care of his mother like any boy should. Even after mother dies he is still loyal to her and her demands. I don't think a mem can ever get completely free of the chains a mem mother places on him.
