Alicia Spencer (portrayed by Mare Winningham) is Kyle 's "9th ward white - trash '' mother. Raising Kyle as single mom, the flaky and abased Alicia became unhealthily dependent upon her young son for support by needing him to assume all of the adult "man of the house '' responsibilities and take care of her, as well as sexually abusing him. She is suicidal and clingy after the death of her son, and Kyle kills her after his resurrection.
