I am sorry I ever stuck up for this guy, even remotely. I don't think it's because he doesn't like you, learning, I think he's just burnt out or something. Waiting for someone to call him on his b.s.? He's just kinda phoning it in. Really, for the things you describe here about your mom and sis, you might do better with a new but truly sympathetic ear. These are fairly common geriatric issues, aren't they? (SORRRRRYYYY!!!!)
