In my case, his Mom, even though very hurt by her son's actions, refused to say anything which might upset him in case he decided to not see her anymore. No blood isn't thicker than water since he is adopted. Really his parents aren't in a good marriage themselves and she feels he is all she has. She lost me so maybe that is now true.
