Diane was not only a good mother to him she was also a sound business woman and during the war saved enough to buy a house for them then let rooms out to help pay the bills. Stanley didn't like her work or the people she mixed with and one evening when she brought a 'friend' home he saw the violence that was part of her life and tried to intervene, he was knocked out. This shook Diane and when Stanley decided that he would have to deal with this man she taught him how to use a gun now he would be able to save his mother from the violence.
