I have a question based on indian novel/friend.
There is this family in Bombay India - the family is rich in general. Earlier the father loved someone else but had to marry another because of pressure.
So, now the father does not care for his own family. He mistreats his son - he does not let him attend any good schools, or develop or grow his talents, or let him get involved with the community, or help him find a career/business/job. Tries to keep his son behind in everything.
The mom is stupid shallow and unstable - a show-off who needs constant attention and always wants to relax and have fun.
She also tries to keep her son down - and keeps creating fights.
Then as the son grows older and starts to earn on his own, the family tries to get as much money out of him - while doing nothing for him, blame him for everything, and finally try to force him to marry someone not his choice.
Can you explain whats going on - based on culture or ego or evil or mental sickness or what?
