* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Russ's dad is revealed to have been verbally abusive, to the point that young Rusty was ''afraid'' to tell him that he found a screw he lost because he was afraid of invoking his wrath. Also that his father grabbed him, shook him, and harshly accused him of killing his mother after getting into a fight in school, and that this episode alone (never mind being raised by this man after his mother died) caused Rusty to suppress his emotions and become an emotionally crippled adult because he harshly told him never to cry.]]
* AngerBornOfWorry: Russ explains to young Rusty that his father yelled at him and [[spoiler:told him he was killing his mother]] not because he really believes it, but because he was just scared--[[spoiler:scared for his wife, scared of raising him alone]]--and that he's expressing it badly.
