1. His dad was an alcoholic

and he had a drinking problem. He and his dad never made peace either I don't think. There is also a brother, who he does not speak with? (This is from memory so don't take it as gospel)

grandiosity
inability to access emotions
need for validation

8. Is that it?!?!.....if it is,....

well Boo fucking Hoo. He's an asshole only because he wants to be. He can't blame anyone else for his character flaws.

Lots of people had "tough" times. Tell him to talk to Dr. Phil or Oprah from his jail cell.

Note: ordinarily I'm a pretty compassionate human being, but in his case I'll make an exception.
