The Forgotten Pillar

In the grand narrative of your life, you've cast yourself as the selfless hero, enduring decades of hardship for the sake of your family. But in this tale of martyrdom, you've conveniently forgotten the silent supporter who bore the weight of your world.

From adolescence, this individual became your confidant, your therapist, your mediator. They were thrust into roles far beyond their years - a parent to their parents, a shield for their siblings, a bridge between warring factions. They weathered storms of domestic turmoil, navigated the treacherous waters of your marital strife, and stood firm in the face of violence and mental health crises.
