Adriani told the Connecticut Post, "It became overwhelmingly clear to her that [military service] wasn't right for him.”
Nancy “squashed” the idea by reminding the teen that he “didn’t like to be touched” and if he was injured that would be unavoidable.
In the years that followed, he reportedly became more and more withdrawn. “He was like a ghost,” another friend told the New York Daily News.
The source added, “He didn’t understand why she wanted him to go out into the world. She told me she couldn’t reach him — and she was worried. He would start yelling and stuff like that. He would never hit her. He would just act like a child when he got mad.”
The insider also refuted the notion that Nancy wanted to have the 20-year-old committed to psychiatric care. “Nancy was so dedicated to Adam,” the friend said. “She would never send him away. She just couldn’t do that.”

She may have been concerned about her son but her love for her assult weapons far outreached any love or concern she had for her unstable son.
Are you tired of going office daily? Work at home with Google! I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Here is what I've been doing, http://www.MoneyGoogle.fab17.com
