An inner conflict often takes the form of wanting to "have our cake and eat it, too"--an either/or choice where there are strong advantages and strong disadvantages on both sides and no way to satisfy one desire without sacrificing the other.

If she is adopted by her grandmother, she will be able to live with her brother. But her grandmother does not like her spunky outgoing ways. They arn't traditional. She wants to be true to herself but can't do this and get her grandmother to adopt her. I am still working out the details but it is really coming along with your help! Thanks!
