Managing Self in the Midst of Divided Loyalties at Home
This family of five is like a battlefield. Mrs. Wong and her elder daughter think alike and support each other. The elder daughter is an enthusiastic assistant to the mother checking on her younger brother. The younger son and Grandma (mother of Mr. Wong) are staunch allies against Mrs. Wong and her daughter. Mrs. Wong is especially aggravated that Mr. Wong did not stand up for her against his mother when the latter is unreasonable. Mr. Wong feels very lonely and marginal in the family.
Mrs. Lee is very hardworking and efficient. She is dismayed that her husband is irresponsible, distant and avoidant of her. She wants very much to deal with this challenging situation.
