Honestly if my boyfriend saw me get pissed on by a evil bitch incarnate I wouldn't think too highly of myself either. Imagine you're at your lowest low and then someone treats you like the literal human garbage you already feel like. That's gonna tank your self worth subatomic. He doesn't see himself as anything more than a conduit for his mother's better health. In his mind he no longer deserves his own happiness and he doesn't wanna drag others down with him. I can sympathize with the fella it's gonna be hard for him to stand up.
