* MyBelovedSmother: The opening and closing scenes of Howard's childhood heavily imply that his mental illness was triggered [[FreudianExcuse by his mother]]: She constantly reinforces to him that he will never be safe from infection, and she keeps him [[AlwaysAChildToParent infantilized]] by hand-washing him naked in a bathtub while he is already at the age where he can wash himself.
