In other words, the Cast of Rule of the Bone.

Chappie's Mother:
Chappie's mother is a very weak and obsessed woman. She would rather have an abusive man with her than caring and loving her son. There is a point in the book were Chappie made her choose between her alcoholic, perverted and abusive husband or her own flesh and blood son. She chose her husband. This was a huge turning point for Chappie because it was at this point he realized he had nothing left to care for in Au Sable and nothing in Au Sable cared about him. She has joined an AA to help her husband work out his alcoholic addiction.
