Eleven years ago, Jim and his ex-wife Diane got a divorce after their oldest daughter, Sara, died at the age of 7. Diane took their infant daughter, Madeline, starting a whole new life with a husband and another child. While Jim moved back to Hawkins.
Though he rarely saw Madeline, he never stopped being her father. He paid child support. He called, loving from a distance, for Diane wouldn't let him see her in person.
Jim eventually started his own new life. Finding love with Joyce Byers. Taking on the father role of his "stepson" and adopted daughter, Eleven. The four of them are living in one house as a family. Until one day, Jim received a call from his ex-wife, saying she could no longer handle Madeline's behavior.
