Kadi and Daniel Prescott have seven children,ranging in age from one year to eight. Kadi's own father left her family when she was just 13,after coming out of the closet. Kadi is still hurting from this experience of abandonment,and her husband,Daniel,is resistant to their young family having a closer relationship with her dad because of his sexuality. This emotional distance from her own father is a true heartache for Kadi,who also feels she's falling short as a mother: She loses her temper too frequently with the kids,especially with seven-year-old Daniel,who was recently diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
