Slight change in ideas.

We have decided to slightly tweak our idea overall. Originally we had planned to have a conventional family a mother a father and a son. The father would leave and come back to the son. However we were brainstorming and have slightly changed this idea. The child is recently deceased , this is why the father has turned to drink and the mother to religion. I feel that it will build greater feelings of sadness and it will be more effective.
