Even though it’s my birthday, all I wanted was to be left alone, but mom insisted that we have a get together with the whole family. As I look around the only thing in my mind is, how did we get to this place?

Growing up in a suburb with the classic family dynamic, you would’ve thought that we would’ve been the normal boring family. The dad with a full-time job providing for his family while a mom stays at home, taking care of the children. we were all loved and had our own journeys growing up, but I never thought our path would lead down this road.
