Love the frying pan pic! I have a family history riddled with ACEs, starting with my grandmother having to leave Ireland at 16 because her family couldn't afford to feed her and the other 11 kids (soon to be 12). She was bedridden for 25 years and had to live through the murder of her nephew and the overdose of her son. Every time I see my sisters giving her sons such a stable home, I reminder her what an amazing job she's doing and how lucky she is. Like you said, there's no such thing as a good or a bad family. (But access to resources for help really does make the difference in the ability to break the cycle.)
That's quite a family story, Gia. And you are right about resources!! The headline was for you (I used Schwenkfelders!) and also a nod to Miranda July's "You and Me and Everyone We Know." Though I did it kind of quick and now I'm going to edit it a bit to "Schwenkfelders and Me and Everyone We're Related To"
