Yes. "It would be considered" - by others. By onlookers. But the child knows that the mother is not in the habit of showing this kind of concern, and when the adult child is ill, he is in NO MOOD to be putting on a display of false family fealty for named or unnamed rando others. I sure wasn't. It uses up too much emotional energy that should be channeled towards one's healing.
