Walter isn’t mature enough to realize how to properly do this. One example is when Ruth says she getting an abortion, and Walter doesn't say anything. Mama, fed up, says, “Your wife say she going to destroy your child. And I’m waiting to hear you talk like him[Walter Sr.] and say we a people who give children life, not who destroys them”(I.ii.83). Mama can’t trust Walter because he’s making bad choices. Mama and Walter work out their conflicts and come together when Walter has lost all the rest of his father’s money and he is devastated and embarrassed. He realizes that without his family, he has nothing. It’s at this point Walter stands up to the white man who wants to buy the house back from them, because the whites do not want blacks in their neighborhood, that Mama starts to trust in her son. “He finally come into his manhood today, didn’t he? Kind of like a rainbow after the rain…” (III.ii.3), exclaims
