Not to get to deep.... but Black families shove a LOT of shit under the rug...and brush it off like it's nothing...or to forget about it like it never happened.
But that shit comes fresh into the forefront of the mind when it comes to your own kid.
I know for a fact that something is amiss with my niece but it's on her mom's side, not my side (my brother's daughter)...yet...my niece spends at least 75% of her time with her mother's family (brother and baby moms not together). It's affected her...and I can plainly see it....but yeah....folks don't want to talk about it or they act like it's not existent.........
