Added DiffLines:

* ParentalNeglect: Downplayed, but given that Ginny is a moody teenager, Georgia clearly has to spend more time on her than Austin, which can lead to her ignoring some of Austin’s very obvious problems. She doesn’t notice at first when Austin goes mute for a while, and she initially has no idea that he skipped school for a whole week (though to be fair, no one told her since his teachers assumed he was sick).

* JerkassHasAPoint: Most of the time when a less sympathetic character criticizes Georgia. Amber Lynn is completely right about Georgia being a manipulative GoldDigger, Cynthia correctly pins her for basically a con artist and Paul's parent's are not wrong him rushing into [[spoiler:a marriage]] with her being a reckless move. And that's before we get into Georgia's [[spoiler:body count]].

** TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Austin regularly displays this, an unfortunate consequence of emulating his mother Georgia. He’s quick to throw a punch at a boy’s nose as soon as his mom says to, stabs that same boy in the hand with a pencil, sets the garden on ''fire'', refuses to talk for some time, [[spoiler: takes a gun and ''shoots his father'' without a hint of hesitation]], and according to Paul, is ''way'' too comfortable with an axe.
