==Relationship with her husband==
They celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary around the time of season 2. ("[[The Daria Database]]")
Jake often frustrates her with his various personality quirks, neuroticism, cluelessness, and crazy antics; most of the time, this is shrugged off as background noise, though in "[[Psycho Therapy]]", "[[Gifted]]", "[[This Year's Model]]", and "[[One J at a Time]]" she showed far greater discontent lurks under the surface. She became quite vicious in "Psycho Therapy" when she had to roleplay as him, and in "One J" she expresses anger over the fact Jake won't get over his childhood.
The couple have been involved in many attempts to rekindle their marriage, from taking romantic retreats ("[[Antisocial Climbers]]") to using the [[Xanadu Professional Couples Counseling]] agency ("[[The Daria Database]]") to out-of-town workshops ("[[Speedtrapped]]"). In the first series, they were involved in the "Couples Therapy Night" group and knew the [[The Gupty Family|Gupty family]] through it. ("[[Pinch Sitter]]") They were ''still'' involved three years later, according to Helen's website.

Usually, when it comes to parenting, Helen takes the lead. She has often been irritated when Jake doesn't properly back her up or show initiative himself, and in "[[Arts 'N Crass]]" became ''very'' angry when Jake took Daria's side instead.
