ings. When Billy was four, his parents divorced, and he remained with his father. His brother and sister moved in with his mother to a distant city. Billy rarely saw them. His depression caused him to constantly act out in order to receive attention from people. Seeing that his son had problems and having difficulty raising his son alone, Billy's father responded by providing the child with all the video games he wanted and frequent trips to the amusement park. As Billy grew older and attended school, he had trouble focusing and was taken to a doctor.
