In middle adult hood people start to care for oneself, one's children, and future generations. He then goes on to say " A Failure to broaden his or his concerns and energies to include the welfare of others and society as a whole, will result by a feeling of stagnation (concern with one's own needs and comforts)."

The limbic systems helps organize basic survival responses. In the case Abe's  wife states he "seems on edge" after the accident. He became more sensitive and feels that people think of him as "disabled" and treat him differently after the injury. (Coon, Mitterer, & Martini, 2019, p. 75).

Abe's mother is described as a parent who is authoritarian. "… authoritarian parents may use withdrawal of love, or withholding affection, by refusing to speak to a child, threatening to leave, rejecting the child, or otherwise acting as if the child is temporarily unlovable."
