The Family Who Pretended

By Alfred Motolla

"The Family who Pretended" captures the essence of the story, which is about the façade of perfection that many families put up, despite the imperfect realities that lie beneath the surface. The story ultimately shows the importance of facing and working through conflict and misunderstandings within a family, rather than ignoring or pretending that everything is fine.

"The Family who Pretended" tells the story of a family that puts on a show of happiness and togetherness, but behind closed doors they are falling apart. Each member of the family is struggling with their own personal issues, and they are all keeping secrets from one another. Eventually, the weight of their unresolved conflicts becomes too much to bear, and the family is forced to confront their problems head-on. Through this process, they are able to heal and become a more honest and open family unit. In the end, they learn that it is better to face their problems head-on, rather than pretending they don't exist.
