Okay, before I say anything I just HAVE to compliment you on the "sun rising in the west" image because is SUCH an elegant example!! I <3'ed it!
On the subject of unsub's background, it doesn't bother me so much the fact that they use ABUSE that much, but that they just use "parental abuse" over and over, only finding a few variations along the way - this one was drowned by daddy, this one was beaten, this was molested. It just seems to be a repetition of the same clichè, and as you said, there is teacher's abuse, and other family members, and bullying - though I'm pretty sure (this is me guessing) that parental abuse is the most common one.
As a TV plot, it's no fun to watch when I know what's going to happen. And I feel a little manipulated that I am supposed to feel sorry for sob-story!unsubs who kill, but unsubs who rape and torture are just plain EVIL-BORN!unsubs.
