Besides her posetive relationship with Jeff, one can hardly say more, her mother “Pattie”, is an anxious, frequently distant and emotionally unavailable often seeming to be caught up with her drama. “Buddy” Kimberly’s father is an liquor entusiaist who usually fails to demonstrate a good father figure, and then there is “Aunt Debra” self centered con-artist, who’s entire interest was pulling successful conspiracies at all costs.
