In fact, many of the relationships throughout this book address this issue both directly or indirectly. Many of the mother daughter relationships throughout this book remain blatant examples; Boy sending Snow away, Frank allowing Boy to think all her life that her mother left her, Frank’s girlfriend leaving Boy alone with the Rat Catcher, even Boy running away, all of these have elements of abandonment and abuse. But Charlie and Boy’s
The Andersen family Bill, Jill, and Riley from Pixar’s film, Inside Out, was used as the subjects for a systemic assessment of child and family relationships. The author selected this film because it 's centered on an adolescent who has to deal with significant developmental and emotional changes occurring in her life that are brought on by a move to a new state. The move forces the character, Riley to leave behind everything that she has ever known and loved, like her best friend Meg and her hockey team, and travel to a far away unknown place. This causes an emotional as well as developmental change in Riley. The author is able to empathize with the character due to her own childhood experiences as an Army brat and having to frequently move, leaving friends behind, and as a parent in the military who had to frequently move her own children. She has first hand experience with the emotions an adolescent goes through as well as those of a parent who has to deal not only their own emotions, but with those of their child.
