What do we learn indirectly of the home life of the Ewell family in this chapter?

We learn that the daughter may be possibly abused by her father as he is always drunk and doesn't look like a particularly concerned father. She also has bruises which may be from him as he is left-handed and the bruise is on the right side of her face.

We also learn that Mayella is scared of her father this most likely developed from her being abused a lot by her. She feels as if she doesn't have any power to stand up to him, even if that means lying in court and getting Tom into serious trouble. |

It is also suggested that while Bob Ewell cares for his daughter, he would still abuse her if she does something he is not pleased with. He doesn't even call for a doctor.In this context, it is her affection for Tom Robinson. |

We learn that there is great disharmony in the Ewell family which results in the mistreatment and physical abuse of Mayella.
