Captain lives with his grandparents, father, uncle, older sister and a half-brother. His father and mother divorced. After mom and dad broke up, the father got a new wife and had a son. After that, the father broke up with his new wife too. The reason for the breakup was the same reason from both wives is that the father is an alcoholic, he didn't work. This made both wives unable to live with him. And he would not allow his wife to take care of the child. Dad couldn't quit drinking and he was drunk all the time. Until he began to tremble all the time because he couldn't live without alcohol. As a result, the atmosphere in the family is not nice and the children are stressed out by having a father like this. All children, when they live with their father, tend to get irritated and don't want to talk to their father. And grandmothers who have to take care of their grandchildren also experience stress. The family's main source of income comes from the work of Uncle and Grandpa, who have to earn money to cover the household expenses. Every Sunday, Grandma and her three grandchildren regularly go to church together by motorbike, but if Grandpa doesn't go to work on Sundays, Grandpa will drive them. Captain's mother often sends money to Grandma to help with the cost of raising the children. Now Grandma is unable to take care of her grandchildren because she has stage 4 kidney disease. and has only one kidney. Captain has a chronic disease of enlarged tonsils. He likes craft activities and fishing. He also likes to study science. When he grows up, he wants to be a football player because he likes playing football. Captain is often stressed and unhappy when his father is near him and speaks nonsense when drunk.
