This chap seems remarkably sensible despite his up bringing with his MAABOF mum. Just goes to show that some kids can resist parental brainwashing.

No surprise there!

How sad to see the distance between mother and son :-(

[Mamyalynne]

Remarkably level headed young man - what a sad tale.

[ummmm]

He's a big boy, I'm sure he has a mind of his own!

What does MAABOF stand for?

[Ken4155]

Quite a depressing tale. Pleased to see the lad is sensible enough to realise that his attention-seeking mother will be the one to suffer most from the breakdown in their relationship in the none too distant.

I would hazard a guess at Mas As A Box Of Frogs, Ummmm.

Gawd imagine having her as your mother. What a lovely sensible chap he's turned out to be against all the odds.

I think she only went mad recently, so he probably had a fine upbringing. Sad really.

[Mamyalynne]

No Tomus, listen to the video - he says his childhood was hell.

[ummmm]

Cheers Ken :-) I can't keep up.

Fair enough Mamya. I saw him on the telly and the impression I got was that she'd been ok until recently when she got drawn into the conspiracy theory cult. If she's always been mad I don't know why he bothers with her. Still sad.
