My family and I - Introduction

Before I write anything, let me add a disclaimer. This one is pure fiction, even though its heavily inspired by my family and my friends families. 

My family is like every other family. From a distance we seem normal, even refined maybe, but get a little closer and you'll wonder how a bunch of seemingly dysfunctional personalities have managed to survive together for so long. Personally, I feel we belong in the madhouse! 

But when push comes to shove, I know where I'll automatically turn to for protection, acceptance and love.. 

Isn't that what families are for?
