When her husband takes a sabbatical from his family, and her children are placed in therapy, she struggles at parenting.

Stories need to have a proactive lead character who has a goal. And then something to stand in the way of that goal.

Also; the beginning of the story and the main goal should match.

—-

1: If the beginning of the story is the husband leaving then the goal would be, for the lead character to become an independent mother.

2: If the beginning of the story, is the lead characters’ children are placed in therapy, then the goal would be to help her children overcome whatever caused them to be placed in therapy.

3: If the beginning of the story is the lead moves from a poorer neighborhood into high society, then the goal would be for the lead to help her family adjust to the new neighborhood.

But only one will be the main storyline, the rest will be ‘B’ storylines within the script.

—-

So in the script, all of these storylines are acceptable. but only ONE will be the main storyline and that is what should be in the logline.

1: Her husband leaves/Become independent

2: Her children are placed in therapy/Help her children

3: Fish out of water/learn to adjust to new her society

Hope this helps
