I may be way off on this, but wasn't it more tradition of era where one of the sons (usually not the first born) took on the role of the mother's caretaker when the Victorian father passed on?
If that's the case, he was far from Norman Bates as can be. He was the dutiful son that society expected and even, in his warped way as a vamp, carried that duty to the unlife.
