The analysis was done by several techniques includingexposing, explaining, and interpreting This investigation resulted in several findings. First, parents had significant roles to nurture their children. Second, the existance of conflicts in a family were caused by different opinion and disagreement among the members of family, And the last, problems in Fitzgerald family affected the psychology of the children because there was lack communication among each other.
