--->'''Cathy''': Was it so terrible what our mother did, to marry her half-uncle when he was only three years older than she? No woman with a heart could have resisted him. I know I couldn't have.

* IncestSubtext: It's basically textual that Christopher is sexually attracted to--or at least very confused by--his mother Corrine. Corrine plays into it a bit, what with her spinning around in negligees and constantly cradling him to her breast, and one very memorable moment when she kisses him full on the lips.

* YoureNotMyFather: Bart pulls this frequently and aggressively with his Chris. Bart's [[GlorifiedSpermDonor biological father]] died before he was born, and Chris has been his stepfather since he was a toddler. He is the man who raised him, and the only father Bart can remember. Chris, for his part, unquestionably considers Bart his son, loves him, and holds out hope their relationship will improve someday. Bart refuses to call Chris his father, [[CallingParentsByTheirName calling him by his name]] or simply not speaking to him at all.
** He denies Cindy as his sister (AdoptionDiss), and sometimes Jory as his brother too (HalfSiblingAngst).
