When families avoid integrating a member's ongoing struggles

Our family has been avoiding talking about my brother's addiction for months, all of us walking around the elephant in the room and pretending things are normal when they're clearly not. We're all scared and hurting but we keep defaulting to this weird fake harmony instead of learning how to be a family that includes this reality.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're all expending enormous energy maintaining an illusion of normalcy instead of learning to be yourselves within the actual situation.
