I love this drama beyond words, let me talk about my superficial views, I agree with the statement that horace is my father's scapegoat.
Pete's mental illness is a progression from mild to severe (this is important).
Maybe the seventh generation Horace didn't do anything to him. After all, the relationship between horace and pete in each generation was very good. When the seventh generation was young, Horace seemed more calm (to persuade pete and guests), and pete after all Is the son of old pete.
So I guess, pete is just living under the fear of observing the old Horace domestic violence wife and children, but he is sensitive and smart, many plots can be seen, such as he serves breakfast, he caters to the seventh generation's desire to join the team and perform well (The ice hockey monologue shows that he actually doesn't like it), he will persuade the couple to fight, and the most important point: he has learned to leave in time before the conflict erupts. And this long-term fear and nervousness about taking the wrong step was the source of his mental illness.
But that all changed on the night his wife ran away from home. The wife didn't bring Pete with her at first, for obvious reasons, but out of conscience, she still went back and wanted to pick up Pete, but the conflict that happened during the day once again put a huge psychological pressure on Pete, who already had a (mild) mental illness, His illness got worse, he started filling a glass with water; then, he got beaten up again, and when he found out the next day that his mother had left with his sister and brother, and he had left him alone, he broke down.
This should be the collapsed hospitalization mentioned in the previous situation, and then began his five-year desperate life in the hospital, and then he was discharged from the hospital to live on drugs, and the huge fear that he had to return to the hospital after being informed that he could no longer get the drugs. His mind was full of hallucinations, and the only sanity hidden in his heart found the culprit behind it all. He goes back to this damn family tradition, all the scenes are so similar to those in the past, and the people look so similar, the hallucination helped him target and execute revenge
