For as long as I knew him, his mom would only sing his praises. She often felt inferior because she didn't have a degree so she would always say that he was right. When his family made me uncomfortable, he would be afraid to confront his parents. He did once and his mother cried and said she was never going to visit us again. The women in the family often cried to get their way. His heart would hurt to see his mom cry and she often used that to her advantage. That's why I say he left me for them.
He handled setbacks by siding with them. He often sided with them because they would cry and I didn't.
They would guilt him into thinking that they were only trying to help and they often used death as a scare tactic. His father might die tomorrow or who will take care of his mom when the father dies. They hardly fought with each other because they might die. He would rather not argue to keep the peace. His father squandered a large sum my h's investment account. My h was upset but didn't say anything to his father.
