Family Secrets

WOW! Today is a day of so many mixed feelings. Families have so many secrets...
I have always said every family has dysfunction to some degree. Why does my family seem to have an abundance of it?

Another family member is in jail. The charges are legit and he deserves to be there. His offense is hideous and it angers me that he got away with it for a lifetime. So why do I have so many mixed feelings about it? Maybe because the entire situation has been kept a secret by so many for so long. How many times does it have to happen for you to accept that it is true? Maybe I am confused because of the love I still feel for him, in spite of what he's done. The secret is out and everyone handles it in a different way. What seems crystal clear to me, becomes the muddiest of waters to the others.

My family is in a civil war. North against the South, I guess you could say. You know anytime there is a conflict, people take sides and the war is on! I have a hard time understanding why anybody is taking his side.
