Yes, you're right -- NMMI.

Believe whatever you want. Jonnie lies about everything; he just
can't STAND that I'm successful, happy, and at peace here in my
home. He can't STAND that my son is successful and that we are a
family with a proud tradition which my son is carrying on, and
that I have a grandson (soon to be two). He can't STAND that I
have the integrity to live an honest life and not cower in the
closet, and that I'm NOT the miserable failure he'd like me to be.

Jonnie, OTOH, hides away, refusing to talk about his own life,
refusing to discuss his (lack of) military service, refusing to
be honest or open about anything. He lives in a world of lies,
and assumes everyone else is as ashamed of themselves and
ashamed of their life as he is of his. He judges the rest of the
world by himself, and it's no wonder he can see nothing but
filth and failure everywhere, given that he sees it in himself.
