Mrs. Yates is an unseen character in Season Eight of the Showtime series DEXTER.

She was the abusive mother of A.J. Yates.

Summary
According to Dr. Evelyn Vogel, A.J. Yates grew up with an abusive mother. When enraged, she often beat him and stalked him. He would hide under his bed, feeling that it was his only safe place. As she called his name, A.J. watched her feet pace back and forth. This appears to be a contributing factor to A.J.'s modus operandi in which he collects shoes as trophies.

It is not mentioned whether or not his father was ever abusive to him.
