How do you parent a mentally weak son?

I love my 20yr old son but I really can’t wrap my head around his weak personality.
I only want to help him and do what’s best for him but sometimes I really can’t relate.

I hate the feeling of not liking your own son.
I hate the guilt of it being my fault.
I hate the disappointment I know I have but can’t show.
I hate talking condescendingly when mad.
I hate having to simplify things and explain over and over yet still not getting through to him.
I hate admitting he’s dumb.
I hate that somehow he still graduated with honors!
I hate that despite being hands on and present all his life, I can’t seem to bond with him.

And yet I love him!
