So I am told mental illness is not genetic or has anything. I can see exactly what happened to him. The pull to just "let go" and not deal with responsibilities, and life , go live homeless, is strong. I just don't wont to be a functioning person anymore. It is a daily struggle.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
