Both Conner and Greg's pasts involve being abandoned by their fathers at some point; Conner mentions being abandoned by Logan, specifically not seeing him for "three years", and Greg's father is repeatedly insinuated to have been a deadbeat.

Logan constantly gaslights and otherwise manipulates his children, to the point where even the audience can become confused by his behavior. On one specific occasion we see him clearly and intentionally hits his son, who he gaslights by saying he didn't even make contact.

It's implied Logan was physically abused by his uncle, though this has yet to be expanded on. It's also mentioned that Logan hit Roman on at least two occasions, and it could be interpreted that he'd been a child.

Seasons 1 and 3 both have what could be considered sad endings, however the show isn’t finished.

In s2e6 Logan is mad and thumps the inside of the helicopter the characters are riding in, moving it, and startles them.

Season 1 episode 4 Roman mentions a time when Logan hit their au pair with his car and blamed it on her being “too short”

Yes, but very little, as it is a realistic drama series, often from nothing more intense than a nosebleed, or on one occasion, a character's two front teeth being knocked out.

It’s worth noting that the suicide using a gun is not confirmed to be a suicide until several minutes after the gunshot was heard, and it is reacted to as an active shooter situation in the duration of this time.
