Recommended: Outline of the parent-child relationship

My Dad’s Stepmother’s Secret I come from your typical average size family, which includes two wonderful parents, a sister who looks like a Barbie doll and a half-brother who is as big as a whale. My parents would always wonder why I would be so selfish and not very talkative towards my Grandma. To be fair, I never liked my Dad’s step mom. However, I had my reasons, but I just kept them to myself and acted like I liked her. Everyone is always telling me, you’re so lucky to have such a wonderful family and you should be very blessed to have them. Another thing is people are always telling me that not everyone has a family or can be loved by so many caring people around them and have it so good. But then suddenly, one day I uncovered a long- hidden secret that would break my family apart. It all began when my Grandma and I went out for Dinner to spend some quality time together in which it turned out to be one of the most horrifying conversations that I have ever come to. When we arrived at the Restaurant and got seated, we began talking about life and about me going off to college. My Grandma and I would talk about anything and we could honestly talk for hours. This is why I love going out with her because we have a bunch of the same interests and were just so much alike. So after having a great meal, we then headed out and she asked me if …show more content…

Honestly I’m still amazed by this situation and can’t imagine what my Grandma went through. Overall I thought long and hard about confronting my dad’s step mom, but in the long run I knew it would resolve into more conflict and my family really doesn’t need that right now in their lives. So for now I’m going to keep this secret and eventually as I get older I will talk to my dad’s step mom about it to get her side of the story. As of right now I will act like I know nothing and just move on with my

    My family has always been there for me which is why I took our family photo for my art project. Even though we can get under each other’s skin sometimes at the end of the day we all still love each other and have one another to talk to and to blow steam off of. Like in the books how Izzie and Mira went to their mom for help I go to my mom for help all the time. Mira’s brothers were there to watch out for them when it came to boys and dating. I hate to say it but my little brother and younger guy cousins have gone on dates with me and my boyfriend’s more than anyone. I guess what I’m trying to say is that family will always be there for you. Even the times when you wish they weren’t. In the end family is all you’ve got.

    Has anyone ever told you that having a family is not important? Well, since everyone seems to talk about how important a family is, what makes it so important? I always hear about how “they are always there for you” which I find to be a nice thought, but inaccurate. What if you had an abusive or ignorant parents? Or how about if you were an orphan? Your parents clearly weren't there for you then, and you could live your whole life not wanting a family. However, there are some cases where you have loving and caring parents that you all love each other happily ever after. After bringing it all around in my head, I came to the conclusion that your future with your family all depends on the type of relationship you have with your family. In Geek Love by Katherine Dunn and Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, the authors use their character’s actions to illustrate the character’s family relationship.

    Our family was never close but we didn’t care. Nobody thought one day things might be different. All of that changed on September 20, 2014 when a hostile argument ended with the death of both my aunt and uncle. For years their marriage was falling apart. My aunt was very materialistic and wanted my cousins to have whatever they asked for but in reality my uncle knew it was impossible financially for them to achieve this. He would try to explain this to her but it usually led to arguments where she would then threaten to leave him so in the end she got her way which led to their vast debt. My uncle had a drinking problem but went to AA classes for her to commiserate their marriage and family. The night before this event he had drank a beer which led into a dispute which ended with my aunt taking the kids to her mom’s and they stayed their while my uncle just stayed home. Less than twelve hours later the mailman walked up to a house with my aunt dead on the front porch and my uncle inside on the living room floor dead. The screams caught the attention of the neighbors and the police was then called. This is a significant experience in my life that I faced and that had an impact on me during my freshman year and still affects me today. It was a homicide/suicide accident and it deeply impacted my family and me. Not only did it affect my school life but my home life as well.

    As a child, family was very important to me. My parents made it very clear that the people in your family are the people that are going to be on your side for the rest of your life. My parents were young when they had me so they needed some extra help. Although they did everything in their power to make sure their work schedules were set so that somebody would always be at home to watch me, that just wasn 't always possible. When in doubt, my granny would always come through. I began to build a very strong bond with her being that she was one of my main care takers. Over the years my parents started to figure things out so they no longer needed grannies help. But this is not what I wanted. Instead of

    Most people today think that family is just being close and knowing each others past and secrets. When really, family means being there for someone when they really need you. Family is being able to pick up the phone and call someone at whatever time of the day, and them be there for you as soon as they hang up the phone. Times get rough and if they’re not there, then you shouldn’t consider them family. Without a family, who else would you have? Your family is seriously the only ones you can count on.

  • Essay On A Supportive Family

    759 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a young adult lady, I grew up always being told how perfect I truly was, I grew up with the unconditional support of both my parents and a strong center in family orientation. I was blessed with these luxuries and I am forever thankful. Although I control the outcome of my life and I control my thought processes and social behaviors, my family has a big impact on how I carry myself and the aspirations I set for myself. Having a supportive family makes my life easier to endure during rough patches in my life and easier to reach my goals. I’ve endured the heartaches and the painful memories, but I am never alone in my pain. I think my family is the direct cause of my naturally elevated confidence during this vulnerable phase in my life, Although I do not want to give the perception of perfection but this mindset has helped me get through the toughest patches and come out on top, it has helped me dispatch from friends when needed and form positive inferences on how healthy relationships are suppose to look like. All families have some type of unique dysfunction, the dysfunction helps with the development of “ lessons learned”. Every family has different dynamics, some are smaller, some are big, some are closer than others. The only similarity that remains is that they all make an impact on a child 's mental, physical and
