It's our first relationship, and often our last. Whether we stick with the one we were born with or forge a new one for ourselves, family shapes us throughout our entire lives. We've gathered stories about families. Not the "Leave It To Beaver," middle-class, white, sanitized version of families - these stories are about real relationships with real families with real flaws, problems, and coping mechanisms. Be warned - some of this content is upsetting, and all of it is through-provoking.
