Abusive Parents: Sammy and Avery have this. First, their mother walked out, then their physically abusive father drops them off with aunt Karen, who is also physically and psychologically abusive to them. The De Lainey father is a milder example. Since Moxy is the oldest girl, he puts her in charge of the two toddlers and parentifies her. It comes to a point there both call her 'Mama.' His oldest sons also have to work in his building business to save money on more skilled workers.
