how do we know she was born to an alcoholic single mother?
"See, when I was a kid I used to beg my mom for a dog. Didn't matter what kind. I just wanted, you know, something to love. A dog's all I wanted. Well, that and toys. But mom was so busy, you know, enjoying the drinking and passing out parts of life, that I never really got what I wanted, until now." - Enemies
"Dad may as well be a ghost and mum is a filthy drunk." - No Future For You (in disguise as 'Hope Lyonne')
The lack of a father is more guesswork from the fact she never, ever mentions him,and seems to crave a father figure in her life. Pop-psychology suggests that maybe Faith's father was actually around in her youngest days, so she has a vague memory of being happy when he was there, but then he either died or left her mother. Or perhaps she never knew her father herself, but saw happy families on TV.
