It is a theme that seems to blanket my house, it runs in my blood. To the outside world we are a perfect family, a family with two parents who are happily married, a son and a daughter who do well in school and sport and they even have a pet dog. Nothing could be further from the truth, isn't it true that everyone wears a mask? If this was a fairy tale, the fact that we live in a house hidden away in the woods generally signifies that we have something to hide. And we do.
Everyone in this house is smothering themselves in their own hypocrisy, myself included. Maybe it is because of our secrets that we isolate ourselves from each other, we can go days without having a conversation with the very people we live with. Maybe its because of our isolation that we have so many secrets, if anyone even bothered to look at one another they would be able to see so many things that are happening.
But none of that happens and we all go on living our fairy tale lives.
