4. I didn't read it that way at all

I read that it was so very obvious that he had serious problems that would only get worse without proper therapy/treatment. He was a time bomb and it seems many people knew it and had zero luck getting through to the mother. If this isn't a wake up call to any parent resisting treatment for their mentally unstable child I don't know what would be. I guess for this particular mother, nothing was going to get through to her she was so deeply entrenched in her own position on what her son needed, and the father pretty much checked out and allowed the mother to call the shots.
