He’s a narcissist who was smarter than the other trailer park kids, and wants to distance himself as much as possible from his heritage. I’ve seen it a million times. They’re snobbish, materialistic, judgemental, cruel, and just extremely unpleasant individuals. I’m slightly sympathetic in that they’re damaged individuals, but I’ll never trust one, and they don’t give two shits about anyone who doesn’t benefit them, or they’re not related to. And the latter is entirely situational and transactional. They’ll abandon family in a heartbeat if they’re determined a liability or embarrassment.
