How do you sit together, and pretend everything is alright when so much has gone wrong? I suppose one has to pretend. That is the dynamic of the family. Some might call it acceptance. Is it?
What would those looking in from out see? Would the reality of some be shared by the unbiased observer? Why is my view different than the others? Am I wrong? Or is it that group consensus has deemed certain behaviors and beliefs to be true? Would the unbiased observer agree or not?
There was a time when families held together no matter what. Today, it just takes a dirty look to split them apart. What was once considered the way things had to be has been shot down by time. Some of those views were pure ignorance. Perhaps we don't need family like we used to... Perhaps the definition of family has changed... How much am I willing to give? How much will they concede to me? We shall see. Happy Easter.
