If it's true, she left for 5 yrs, while an aunt & uncle took care of him, he probably felt 'torn', in regards to her. I can picture her asking for his forgiveness, crying, etc... as he got older. It could be he really didn't love her so much, as he felt bad for her, her being his mother & all. Just an observation.
I believe that he loved his mother and vise-versa. I'm not sure why some are so reluctant to believe that. We're all flawed. Dysfunctional families (which make up about 90% of US families) have affection for one another too.
I was only speaking from personal experience. No child wants to not love their parents. They'll try to make excuses for them, but deep down, know their parents aren't worth a damn, & try to stay clear of them, as much as they can, without hurting their feelings. Sorry for the OT, lol...
