I also forgot to mention my cousin was born and raised and lives in Central America, so a place without assistance, so his mom worked her ass off to make sure he was fit to take care of himself when she's gone.
I equate it to my North American wife, who had a learning disability, and instead of pushing her to work hard and overcome it, her parents pulled her out of certain classes, and avoided teaching her anything that seemed "too complicated". So once she moved out, she had no clue how to deal with anything. Took her forever to get accustomed.
