My brother was beaten up and mocked verbally by my dad. For some reason now he blames my mom for everything, even though she's always the one who runs to his aid when he's stuck or needs money. Evetytime she says anything to him, however innocent, he starts to rail at her, telling her how bad she is as a person. My dad doesn't help him when he's stuck, mom does. But when he's back on his feet he sticks with dad and treats my mom like crap.
He cheered when my stepmom left my dad, like she was some horrible person. I know dad made her out to seem that way. It seems like he's loyal to his abusive dad who doesn't do squat for him and hates everybody else!
