RB is very hard of hearing to early childhood events. He did have significant social adjustment issues in the 60s-mid 70s when he finally courtesy graduated HS. Effective schooling wasn't a thing in that era. He was never able to develop healthy friends as a kid & teen because he was a bully. Mom enabled his poor actions over the years.

RB was most definitely Moms' favorite,due I suspect to her guilt.
