You're right. You almost don't notice it because Detox is usually so blase about things. She's a lot stronger than people give her credit for.

I don't know the whole story, but I assumed from the story that Detox's ex broke (back?) into her house and committed suicide there. And then when she came home, she found his body.

And that bit about her mom leaving was kind of hinky to me too. I'm assuming it's just that Detox doesn't want to air all her family's dirty laundry. But it sounded like her mom might have left her dad or vice-versa, and that was why they were apart? So much drama.
