Why did Faye's dad kill himself?
Is it cold in here?:
He did it for his daughter's sake, to spare her the embarrassment of having a breakdown and years of being emotionally crippled for no good reason.

He did it because it was necessary for the plot.

There's now a "Dysfunctional Families" thread in Relate containing the posts about forumgoers's own families of origin, where discussions of same should continue.
Back on topic, I was just afflicted by a mental picture of Faye somehow crossing into the real world and confronting Jeph: "Hello. My name is Faye Whitaker. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

More evidence of Faye's sexual dysfunction -- she's always just had a generally negative, pessimistic attitude towards sex. Can't find the comic, but in one Faye and Marten talk about all the great stuff about being older, and Faye goes, "Yeah yeah, get the typical male example of sex out of the way." Maybe it was Faye and Dora.
Anytime sex is brought up, Faye always exhibits a really negative attitude. Especially compared to someone like Raven (who's probably the most psychologically healthy of the cast), who has a really positive view of sex.
Even nudity, even in a presumably-platonic setting, is upsetting for Faye...

Not to mention her unhealthy body image, always complaining about her weight and such. You could potentially frame the sex and nudity stuff as a type of trust issue brough on by her father's suicide, but you can't really make the logical leap from parental suicide to negative body-image. The leap from sexual abuse to negative body-image is much shorter and more logical.
