Family Drama

    So this week inn class we discussed family problems such as crisis.
When a crisis happens in a family it is determined by the family dynamics be changed due to an event or such.
    In class we discussed many things that could be considered a family crisis positive or negative, some of the events were
-Death of a parent
-Death of a child
-Lose of a job
-Natural disasters
-Birth of a child
-Marriage
-Divorce
-Incarceration
-Addiction
    While learning about what exactly a crisis was and how it affects family roles I started thinking of past crisis in my own family. When I was younger my family really went through a lot of struggles that could definitely be considered crisis. While I don't think ill get in to all of them the one that I can remember most vividly and that was the most traumatizing and biggest crisis was our house catching fire when I was 6 years old. I remember people thinking I did not understand what was going on but I very much did. I knew everything I had and ever knew was gone just completely gone. But being so young I just kind of went along with whatever was told to me but I remember my parents being absolutely terrified because they didn't know what would come next or really what to do I remember there being a lot of stress and tension and family roles constantly switching first my mom would take control and know what to do while my dad was gone and then my dad would take control when my mom just couldn't handle it anymore and all of this went on for a while until finally there was a balanced medium. Things have gotten back to normal physically wise for example we are all fine and go about our days like normal but the family dynamic have never really gone back to the way they once were because of the crisis that we went through that really shifted out family forever mostly for the better but it is still different due to a crisis
