The mother, overwhelmed by parenting stress, had stopped communicating with her husband. Dr. Oh Eun-young observed, "The mother is in a severe state of depression, with high burnout levels," while noting, "The father is within normal ranges for both tests."

Meanwhile, the father displayed a somewhat authoritarian demeanor towards the children. When one child complained about the large portion of food, he shouted, "Just eat it!" leading the child to burst into tears at the table.

The children expressed fear over their father's drinking, saying, "I don't like it when dad drinks," while the mother tried to reassure them, "Mom said she'd protect you." However, as soon as the father opened the front door, the children pretended to sleep or showed signs of anxiety.

Despite being a loving father, he reportedly becomes troublesome when drinking. The mother confessed, "My husband has a drinking problem," and Dr. Oh advised, "If a child expresses themselves and is met with forceful responses, they may feel powerless."
