Yeah, he's an adult. But, he has a lifetime of trauma and his mothers controlling nature prevented him from being able to actually grow up because there was always someone else's plans controlling what he did. He had never spent a lot of time away from his mothers controlling nature until he moved in with the other guy, which is when he starts trying to think for himself, but that's difficult to learn when you've never had the freedom of feeling your own feelings and expressing yourself in the first place.
i also relate to the character that is why i said what i said
hes always been able to think for himself hes a human he may not have been allowed to act on it under the control of his mother but it is way past time to make his own decisions and not allow himself to be walked all over he only has so much life left to live
I know everyone is supposed to hate the mom but I don’t like the main characters either so I’m for anyone against them too tbh
