That's a bit harsh imo. It sounds like an addiction much the same as alcoholism. Just dissociating from reality where possible, in this instance with PlayStation. Certainly sounds like a big problem but I think your comment is a bit much

Nah the guy gets his dinner cooked for him by his partner and then gives it to the dog in front of her. He's an abusive drop kick.

I guess I didn't have the full context. I get a bit frustrated where people are blamed for pathological behaviour where they don't necessarily have control over it, or the circumstances that caused it. Not to say that OPs mum should be putting up with him at all

He’s got some other problems like refusing to eat food cooked for him and being aggressive about it though.
