A perfect family. She’s a great mother who juggles it all perfectly. She’s a housewife that keeps the house sparkly clean, not a speck of dirt in sight. She does activities with the kids, rewards good behavior, and defends them to the end. But behind the scenes she is lonely. She is tired. She is spiraling downward. Her husband is angry, he always yells and seems to be mad about something. He talks down to the kids and degrades them when he is upset. He sees nothing wrong. He can do no wrong. He blames his moods on her. She’s the reason he’s always worked up. He’s a ticking time bomb, always at the ready. She shrinks inside every time her children cry at his explosiveness. Behind the scenes. Maybe it’s not such a perfect family.
