When asked what is the top priority in one's life, there will be many different responses, which tend to reflect deeply on one's character. Those who find enjoyment in material possessions will answer wealth, those who are enslaved will answer freedom, those who treasure their artistic nature will answer imagination. These and many more are very much valid responses, however I predict that the most common answer to this question would be family. To most, family is the most important aspect in their life. Your family are the ones who brought you into the world, guide and protect you throughout your life, support you no matter what situation you are in. When you reach an age where you can afford to give up time, blood, sweat and tears, you raise a family of your own and many consider this to be the best experience of a lifetime. Most people.

Whilst other families are eating dinner together chatting about their days, my father and I are shouting abuse at each other, throwing the nearest objects with malice. Whilst others boast about their children, my mother cries when she thinks about what I am now. To have unloving parents being ashamed of their own son...
