He had some sort of terminal illness, and kept complaining to people about how pointless life was. My mom searched up a lot of stuff about how the illness he has was actually mostly caused by mental and psychological problems, like depression, and spent weeks giving him advice on healthy stuff to eat that might help him get better, but he doesn't take any of the advice. He's convinced that nothing can be done, and is now waiting for death, while complaining to other people about how pointless his situation is. My mom gave up on him, and you might think that's kind of harsh for a termianlly ill guy, but if you had to hear hours of complaining over the phone and search up loads of information to him to just throw away, you'd lose you patience pretty quickly too. Or does impatience just run in my family?
