As part three unfolds Jim learns what “living on the wrong side of town” really means. It’s true that every girls parents wants the best for their daughter but Jim thought his love for Sandy was stronger then any social stigma. He also learns that his home life forever changes and he becomes abandoned by his brother. Jim makes the fatal mistake of wrapping his life around Sandy, which she eventually destroys.
Ellie made this major decision without first consulting her husband, Jim, and this placed another nail in the already sealed coffin containing their marriage. Ellie told Jim that if he wanted to stay married to her he would accept Lenny and raise him as his own son. After uncovering this hidden family secret Jim confirmed it with his mother. Then as soon as he was able to make contact with Lenny he talked to him about it. Jim was very upset and Lenny was the only person he could talk to about it. Lenny confronted Ellie and was told the horrid truth. From that day on Lenny never again acknowledged Jim and Ellie as his parents. When Lenny turned his back on their parents Jim lost the only brother he had ever had and a part of him had been destroyed. In the back of Jim’s mind he always felt that if he had never told Lenny about the adoption he would never have found out and they would still be brothers. This guilt had been almost too unbearable for Jim to accept.
