Family


One time, I said I was anxious.

My uncle laughed at me and told me I had nothing to be anxious about.

Family.

 

One time, when my mom found out I was gay,

she woke me up  to yell at me and let me know what an embarrassment to my family I was--am.

Family.

 

One time, my brother said girls weren't as good as boys, so I punched him so hard he

cried like a girl.

Family.

 

One time, my mom had an affair.

No more

Family.
