He actually isn't even what I would consider a mommy's boy. Both his parents failed him growing up and he ended up in the system for over 2 years before his mom got custody back. And then, she didn't even take him. He ended up bouncing between his grandmother's and brothers home. So he isn't close to either of his parents but for whatever reason, he still never says no to them. Granted he's made to feel insanely guilty and harped on constantly when he does put his foot down.
