Adults Are Useless: Averted. Both of Mclean's parents keep communication lines open, even if Mclean ignores it in her mother's case, and clearly care for their daughter. While Mclean's parents don't notice her changing identities in every town until they read a journal of hers that details it, it's mostly because neither of them realized just how much Mclean was affected by the divorce, and Mclean's mother has the justification of not being present in Mclean's life enough to notice. Mclean's dad, on the other hand, did actually notice that Mclean kept going by different names, but thought that it was only names and didn't realize the full extent of the issue. Once both parents fully realize what's going on, they're quick to be there for their daughter despite whatever issues they might have with each other.
