I’m not sure if you’re referring to me judging him on his income, but if so, I’d like to clarify that first, I never mentioned his income level. Second, I am not judging him based on income level.
As I stated in the article, I suspect a combination of drug use beyond just weed and something mentally off — possibly mental health that I’m not qualified to try to diagnose or, as also stated, he mentioned being in a severe car accident, so perhaps some kind of brain damage that he either doesn’t mention or perhaps doesn’t know he has. I do know that his parents live on the same property, in the bigger house, which is in better shape.
The point of this article was simply that I was misled in the previous dates. Based on our initial dates, I believed him to be interesting, sweet, funny, and respectful as well as clean. His home and his behavior there showed me a completely different person.
Am I making fun of what happened? To a degree, yes. Mainly because the alternative is to consider, as many have said, the other ways it could have gone. And I’d prefer not to think about that. Since I am still working on some issues from previous bad relationships, I don’t need to give myself another negative to think about when it comes to dating.
In all honesty, I really find it rather disturbing that his parents (or family in general) have not taken steps to protect him from others/others from him. I can only think that if I can get a feeling that he needs help from one afternoon, surely they know. So why are they not stepping up to get him the help he needs or to stop him from trying to date if it’s not appropriate for him to do so right now? I don’t know. I don’t know what the right answer would be here, but as a mother myself, if I knew my son behaved like that with a woman, I would be very upset. And if I knew that he had a mental health condition or brain damage or whatever it may be that caused him to behave like that, I would be doing whatever I could to both protect women from his behavior and him from potential legal trouble with women from his behavior.
