4. Conflicts between Darcy and Jamee with their family

Another conflict is when their father has been left his family for younger woman 5 years ago. Besides that, Darcy and Jamee lose the figure of father. The effect is that Jamee becomes a temperamental and stubborn girl. Jamee grows up without guidance of her parents because her mother is busy working in Emergency Room at hospital. Even though they hate their father, they also miss him. Jamee was closer to his dad than his mom. Unlike Jamee, Darcy grows up to be a girl who cares more to treat her family because her father left them. Her mother works hard in ER at hospital so she is very busy and tired. Besides that, grandma got stroke, so Darcy must treat and help her grandma because she cannot do anything by herself.
