None
Family Relation: House loves his mother
but hates his father, whom he claims has
an "insane moral compass." His
father is and always has been incessantly
straightforward and honest, which House
still finds infuriating, and which shows
House that humans are, in general, incessant
liars themselves. At one point House tells
a story of his parents leaving him with
his grandmother whose punishments normally
consisted of abuse, such as making Gregory
sleep on the lawn or taking an ice bath,
at the end, it results is his father who
abused him, not his grandmother.
