My late AH did not exhibit those characteristics, but his mother does. TOTALLY. He used to tell me she was crazy and I did not know the breadth and depth of her mental illness until he died. I don't know if that helps...but perhaps having been raised and reared (she was physically and emotionally abusive, according to him) in that environment, lent itself to his becoming an addict--I really don't know. It's just my theory...I don't necessarily blame her for his addiction, but rather I try to find a reason and/or motivation for it....

HTH.
