There's a trope in this fandom's fan fics to have Isaac have been abused his entire life, but there's not really much evidence of that. We really just don't know.

Even without having been abused though -- his mother and brother died (separately, it's not like he could pin the blame on one person or thing) and at some point along the way his father started locking him in a freezer and beating him so I still say that's worse than Derek.

It was definitely after his mom died. I seem to remember Isaac mentioning that Camden was protecting him by taking the abuse,and then left. But I could be wrong. That might've been in a fanfic somewhere. But if it was in the show, then the abuse probably started shortly after Cam left, not after he died.

Either way, I definitely remember Isaac saying his dad wasn't always like that. He was actually Isaac's anchor. So he did have a decent child hood for a while.

But overall, I kinda out Derek and Isaac on about the same level in the shitty life scale.
