one small edit Job: "...handling things his way w/his mother and <snip> doesn't sound too receptive..."
I removed "unfortunately"
from everyone else's perspective it should be neutral. neither unfortunate or fortunate. its his decision as a 50 year old man taking care of his own mother. its good practice to not label it either way, as this removes the urge to try to control him and change his mind.
