The cause of Maisie’s suffering is the result of a heated communication climate between her parents, which builds into an escalatory conflict spiral. The communication climate between Neil and Susana, Maisie’s biological parents, is emotionally charged and heavily laden with verbal attacks from both sides. Direct aggression, a criticism that threatens the face of a person, is apparent in phrases such as: “Walk away, like you always do,” “You’re like a teenager,” and “You’ve never had a creative thought in your life.” These quarrels become more frequent and result in an escalatory conflict spiral, a communication pattern in which one attack leads to another until the initial skirmish escalates into a full-fledged battle.
