Added DiffLines:
* ParentalFavoritism: For as nasty as Glen is to Bone, he's every bit the good and doting father to her sister Reese. The reason for this fairly extreme disparity isn't spelled out, although there are some hints that Glen resented Bone for not immediately accepting him as a father figure.
Added DiffLines:
* UselessBystanderParent: Anney is a downplayed version; she does try to protect Bone from Glen in the moment, but her willingness to protect her child is seemingly superseded by her desire not to be alone, as she refuses to leave him time and again.

Set in [[TheFifties 1950s]] rural South Carolina, the story is set around Ruth Anne "Bone" Boatwright (Creator/JenaMalone) and her mother, Anney (Creator/JenniferJasonLeigh). Initially, due to being born out of wedlock, Bone just lives with her mother and extended family in the poorer parts of town. Even though she loves Bone, Anney hasn't really grown up too much and gets tired from working to support her and Bone and is needed for attention, coupled with having to deal with the stigma from having a baby out of wedlock.
After her kind and hardworking husband Lyle (Creator/DermotMulroney) is killed in a car accident, Anney goes on to remarry Glen Waddell (Creator/RonEldard), who at first seems nice and caring. However, after Anney has a stillbirth, things head south really fast.
