Quote From: deathsentenceI don't think that it is entirely Alex's fault that her life has taken a turn for the worst. I think it may have a lot to do with the constant fighting between her mother and her aunt. I agree that she is crying out for help, but it's not what the aunt think it is. I think that she cries out for help to stop the constant fighting. It is not healthy for children to be in the presence of fighting, especially when it involves people directly involved in the child's life. What about her father? Where's he? That may have something to do with it, also.
They are so busy fighting that they are not seeing her in all of this. Everyone is in the defense mode and not in the what is best for Alex mode. And when there is not a dad, girls look for him in every man they see. If you do not have a good father figure you do not know what to look for from the men around you. She has a mom who has not taught her right from wrong in action or words and no father to teach her what a positive relationship between a man and a woman is supposed to be or a father and a daughter relationship is supposed to be. She has a lot to learn about who she is supposed to be and needs a lot of self asteem builders.
