Using the comma splice - Hilary

Ellen was angry, she watched as Jason sauntered down the path and jumped into the Landrover.

She had tried hard to convince him that Carrie would be ok, her sister was in the hospital with her and he didn’t need to go there, Ellen had not, it seems, tried hard enough.

The tickets for their Paris trip lay on the bed where Jason had flung them, she gazed around the room, holding back the tears that were welling up, however much she told herself that he was only concerned for Carries welfare, she knew at that moment that she was wrong.

This felt  very awkward as I was doing it. I found this quite a difficult exercise, not for the comma splicing, but because of all the other comma's that I needed to complete the piece and have it make any sense at all!
