Buck was the most favored son. Conrad feels alone and at one point tried to kill himself. He is then sent to a hospital where he

His mother, Beth, seems like a very heartless person who only cares about the outside appearance of her family. She is upset that she already lost her son and now her only son resorts to seeing a psychologist because of a failed attempt at suicide.
