Matt hated his father. Wes was a mean, nasty man. While a big man, he was flabby and weak. He wanted a big son, but got a short, thin son. We wanted a jock, but got a brain who got a full scholarship to Tulane. Wes wanted a wife who worshipped him. That he got. Matt's mom was devoted to her husband, no matter how much he beat her and their son. Matt learned early that his mom would not protect him. Matt learned to avoid his parents to survive.
Right before his last year of High School, Matt's mom started to wail. Wes left a bar drunk and drove into a tree. Matt played the grieving son, but could not forgive his dad for the taunting and beating. His mom was the widow for a month before she started hitting the bars again.
