Reaction to AOC

Although Yumi did seem to come from a normal family, some of the events in her child hood were quite disturbing and could possible contribute to how she is raising her own children. She was neighbors with a abusive family and had a mother and father who never really disciplined her. She ran away at the age of fourtteen and was forced to raise three children on her own. Pheonix is almost a mirror image of Yumi. Adventorous and thrill seeking just as Yumi was when she crawled into the cave. Ocean wants to be just like her brother and looks up to him for guidance. Moving to a new town, especially one that your not welcome in can be very difficult for a young child. This could also be a reason that Phoenix is acting out. He doesn't want to see his mother get hurt anymore and would rather just go back to Hawaii.
