Fourteen-year old Daisy lives in a chaotic household with her parents, six younger
siblings, and grandparents. Being the oldest, Daisy is in charge of taking care of her
siblings and watching over her older grandparents.
Since Daisy's parents work long
hours, she comes home right from school to clean the house and cook dinner. Her
parents are usually so tired when they come home that they barely even speak to her
or her siblings. Due to their irritability, Daisy's parents fight with each other almost
every night, and their fights often become so heated that they scream loudly and
physically hurt each other. When she hears an argument brewing, Daisy gathers her
siblings in the basement for a "slumber party." There, all the children usually fall
asleep for the night. It is likely that Daisy is experiencing:
a. Emotional abuse
b. Physical abuse
