* AmbiguousSituation: Bruce dies by jumping into the road in front of a truck. The truck driver says he appeared to startle at something, and the coroner deems it an accident. Alison wonders if it were a suicide, because it happened two weeks after Allison came out of the closet and her mother Helen told him she wanted a divorce (both things that would shatter the image he tried to project of a perfect Catholic family). Allison wrote the book in part to deal with the painful uncertainty of never knowing the truth.

* DoubleStandard: Allison notes twice that society may have taught her to be more lenient on men than on women. The first is when evaluating her father, with her feelings toward him being forgiving despite his abuse. The second is when seeing his photo of Roy posed seminude, which she admits is beautiful but should be provoking anger in her like if it had been a photo of an underage girl.

* AmbiguousSituation: Bruce's death; while he was doing yardwork, he leaped into the road and a truck driver wasn't able to brake in time. The coroner deems it was an accident. A part of Alison is certain that it was a suicide, because two weeks before, her mother Helen had made the decision to leave Bruce, spurred by Alison's decision to come out of the closet. Part of the work grapples with the uncertainty that she won't ever know the truth, though writing about it allows her to come to terms with what happened.
