Family Roles
This video is touching and very powerful! This video shows
the power of family roles, life style and labels can affect a family.
For Tammy’s family, the oldest son
feels embarrassed of his family, because of how they dress and where they live.
He feels at a disadvantage of everyone else because of his living condition. To
compensate he dresses nicer and tries to clean up their trailer. Instead of
trying to raise his family up, he makes himself feel better by bringing them
down, wishing his mother would look nicer,
and refuses to acknowledge his brother as a brother.
This boy is clearly in charge of
the family, it seems that everyone turns to him as a leader, without a father
figure he is stepping up to fill in that role. It makes his mother take a back
burner role, becoming distant to her children.
The boy and the mother both have a
dream of going to college. My question for you is this:
Do You think either will end up
going??
