I know this may sound rude, but has anyone noticed that Chris is like the incarnation of every terrible decision Borb made. Think about it; if they had not made such bad decisions throughout life, they would have never met each other in a terrible dive.
Chris and his parents are like those people who just refuse to see all the signs, and then their lives just spiral out of control as a result. It's just so weird, it seems so organized, almost like they lived the life they led intentionally while using those around them a to project a proxy of their madness and stupidity.
