I don't want to get too much into it here (we could move it to Current Talk if you want). Both of them do it at various points on the show and it's not uncommon reasoning on any soap. Like his blaming her "curse" for his mother's suicide. His mother is a drunk long before he even meets Angelique. She displays symptoms of depression that have nothing to do with Angelique and has probably been depressed for most of his life. It's tragic and it's horrible, but it's not something Angelique is responsible for.
