Ryan Family

The Ryan Family is a Season 35 episode. Donna moves to Jackson, Mississippi to visit a dyslexic single stay-at-home mother, Sadie (30) who lost her husband, Eric (29) from a stroke a year ago. She had five daughters she has to deal with: Daphne (11), Cree (7), Belle (5), Louisa (4) and Topanga (2). Daphne struggles to do her own things, but her distractions cause her to move out of the house. She has bipolar disorder and depression and it causes her to feel less comfortable due to her younger siblings. She terrorizes her siblings who come in her room, cries in her bedroom, and even moves out of her home when her parents try to talk to her. Louisa cries to get Daphne, Cree and Belle for attention while Topanga terrorizes Louisa and even clinges on Sadie. Can Donna deal with this all-female faimly, or will she be sent packing?
