Struggle to Adjust
Once the kids moved in with the Willis family, they had to adjust in various ways. The younger children (Leo, Xander, Anthony, Aleecia, and Aubriella) settled in fast. They were easier to connect with because they craved permanency. However, the older ones didn’t trust that it was real.
Parentification Issues
Adelino and Ruby had parentification problems. This means that the child must take over as the parent and handle those responsibilities because the parents don’t or can’t. It’s a hard life.
