im sorry i must of got confused. i can feel his hurt and pain being that closer to someone you feel so attached to i believe would be a normal reaction .but you live with him and know him better then anyone have you suggested counseling or going to see a doctor to see what he has to see .i dont believe his mom would want him to quit living ,and having fun .his love is shown to her and that basically is all he can do .and i know it sucks i hear my wife say and cry about not being able to fix this .this disease is horrible and it affects the whole family .i pray he gets some peace back in his life before he totally snaps iwill be praying for you guys
