Her older sister and younger brother were very aloof when it came to Diamond and she hadn't seen her father since she was a youth. This led to her becoming promiscuous, looking for love in all the wrong places which landed her with a child to whom the father was unknown. She made a lot of bad decisions and was given several chances, she even moved to Ohio hoping for a better life, but will she change?
