His mom was a hardcore alcoholic and treated Dave as the scapegoat to everything. If his mom and his dad got into an argument, she would summon Dave and release all her anger onto him. His whole entire childhood was basically what we call child labor, and with the harsh conditions Dave worked in was extremely unethical.
