I agree with this mostly. Specifically his mom was very abusive and pampering. Bad parenting, hoarding, and poor financial decisions weighed down the family and practically forced the dad into an early grave. Chris is clearly someone who believes nearly anything that’s told to him (as long as it takes almost no effort to believe, since many people have failed to even con him into getting a job or a hygienic routine) which is partially a side effect of his autism but his stubbornness, inability to learn, refusal to become a better person, and hypocrisy seem to be direct results of his mother’s shoddy personality from before she became a vegetable.
