and neither of us is a son of his mother.
This is said of someone who betrays you and whom you blame.

This meaning is reflected in English proverbs such as:
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
If this is the nature of friends, then there is no need for enemies.
This is said of someone who combines abandoning you with blaming you instead of helping you.
A similar proverb is:
He kicks a man when he's down.
He adds insult to injury by blaming and hurting the victim instead of helping.
The Arabic proverb describes someone who not only fails to support you, but also abandons you and then blames you on top of it.
