Questions: Family & Friends

You drive to this destination, stay there for three nights, and back and you get the money you were promised. The catch? They say they don't know what will happen to you. they don't clarify, just ask if you take the deal. They have a company name but they trying to look it up is forbidden, and you shouldn't do it. You have their word about the deal. The promise? They'll be right there on the third day as you see them now. Are you willing to take the chance and believe you'll be all right?

We're worried about my cousin's lack of interest in dating, finding another job (he got fired recently for slow performance), his lack of knowledge in how to pay bills, run a house, etc. It's been years already and it seems like he's stuck in time. Many of his manners and the way he talks about videogames, love, etc sounds like a HS teenager, not a grown 22 year-old man.

The event that's deeply seared within him
He was 16 at the time (his then girlfriend was the same age), it was his first and they were dating for 6 months or so. He had just gotten his very first driver's license (restricted though) at the time. The 3rd time he drove, a drunk driver hit them, injuring him and killing his girlfriend. Though it was said she was briefly alive for a few minutes and died in his arms.

He hasn't been acting his age since. What do you think? Can a normal person's mental growth get stunt so much after a traumatic event? At the time he was acting his age but now he's not.
