He was an addict, and sometimes I thought he was actually a good person underneath all those drugs.
We're finally learning about their dad - not evil (though this is from Maddox who is actually really good about seeing the good in everybody) but somebody who needs to be saved - again he's got good qualities, and Jim is the one person who Maddox has said nothing good about, he even said something nice about Jeans Guy and that was a situation where we are explicitly told that Maddox was wrong, so maybe he's level 2 because they have to be even more open and vulnerable to deal with him (or maybe this is what the older brothers' book is about because they don't need comfort, they need to learn to communicate? I don't know, they're pretty flat characters. Pretty much everybody aside from Maddox and Devon are flat characters, though it could be argued that the brothers, especially Xavi, may just be undeveloped and there is some indirect characterization in there)
