Paul, the only meaning I imbued it with is that he was living with his father and *not* his mother. Because that is what the phrase implies. And that implication IS universal. If you intentionally exclude someone, there is a reason for it. Scott intentionally excluded his mother.

If we were in court, they would question why he didn't mention his mother earlier. The opposing lawyer would absolutely use this moment to decimate Scott's credibility. Have you never seen a trial?

As I said (several times now, though you can't seem to get it), it is shitty writing if it isn't inconsistent. And if you can't see that, honestly, I feel sorry for every single one of your readers.
