It seems that he subconsciously aware that most of the things he does is wrong, but he still does them. he knew that steeling from the mall was wrong. and he knew that steeling from his parents is wrong, but he does it anyway.

The Xmas fantasy proves this. he says he wants to show up at his parents house with a big bag of presents and make them both happy. he would love to do that, but that's not him anymore. the fantasy reveals that he wants to do good and he is deep down a good kid, but he has gone way to far the other direction.
