Paddy's parents are always arguing and after a while it becomes physical. Paddy starts staying awake at night listening so he could hear if they are fighting and tries to stay around his parents more so they won't fight. He even plans to run away to make them feel guilty and get them to stay together. I think the most important part of the story is when Paddy says he doesn't understand why his parents are fighting but realizes it's a problem between them and accepts that it isn't his fault. There is nothing that he can do to change the way things are. His parents are the only ones who can fix their relationship.
