"Intervention"

In "Intervention", generational conflict is between the children and their parents. It makes the plot/conflict different because the mother knows more than her children do and that's the reason she doesn't want to tell her husband he has a problem. She is still tore up about her mistake she made, that she is afraid to even accuse someone else of their mistake, especially the one who she did wrong. I don't think her kids understand her situation because they were too young to remember and experience it for themselves. So their is a greater conflict going on aside from Sids problem and it deals with the children vs their mother. They don't understand why their mother knows Sid has a problem and won't deal with it or talk to him about it. She admits to them all what Sid does, which in the end is one of the reasons why they know he has a problem, but when it comes down to all of them taking him to intervention, she says " we can fix it on our own." Their is a struggle within herself and with her children over the mistake she made years ago.
