A few days later, I was sitting down with John, one of the executive editors of the newspaper chain, hearing all the daunting details of being a “cub reporter.” Although it sounded intimidating, it was also exciting, and John didn’t seem deterred by the fact that I had no solid experience. He was happy with the few writing samples I’d brought to the interview and offered me the job on the spot. I thought about the opportunity over the weekend and on Monday I let John know I would take the job. There would be a learning curve, but I would also get to write every single day.

Explanation:
It hasn't happened to me, but I suppose it would a be a painful experience. It can be internal because the character might have turmoil with their feelings and how to adjust to the situation. This especially if they are a child who depend on their parents emotionally, financially, etc. In almost all aspects. The character might struggle wih themselves to understand what happened and why it happened. They can maybe blame themselves and get into self-conflict with themselves that turns into self hatred.
It can be a external problems if the child argues with their parent about this. Why they're leaving, for example. It depends on the authors estabishment of the relation between the child and parent. For example if the parent hates the child, they might shout at them and they might argue (remember external conflict is any conflict between the character and something/someone other than themselves)
