Scenario

When family group dynamics enable avoidance of serious problems

Our family group chat has become this performative space where we all pretend everything is fine, even though Mom's drinking has gotten worse and Dad just ignores it. My brother and I exchange worried texts separately, but in the family space we all just share memes and make dinner plans like nothing is happening.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collective denial is being maintained through performed normalcy, while the real crisis festers in the spaces between family members.
