Every family has a story they tell themselves about who they are.
The most compelling drama comes from the cracks in this mythology. The conflict arises when a character’s reality clashes with the family’s collective delusion.

Not every complex relationship needs shouting. Sometimes the most devastating relationship is the one where two siblings sit in a car for 20 minutes and say nothing because they have nothing safe left to say.
Internal drama is not enough. The family’s conflict must affect something outside the living room.
