Scenario

When family dysfunction requires everyone's participation to maintain

Our family does this thing where we all pretend my dad's drinking isn't a problem, and I'm tired of pretending, but I'm also scared that if I stop pretending, I'll be the one who breaks the family apart. Everyone else seems to have agreed that not talking about it is how we stay together.

More people experience this than they realize.
