This video reflects on my family because of all the violence and the drugs. My cousins are the lead source of all the drug problems. My brother and I couldn't really say or do anything for them. My brother hated them so much because everyone see's our cousins as the "Good Kids" and even our mother plays in their favor. We've seemed to lost our family a lot. The violence plays a heavy part in our past, and present. To both sides, we've experienced a lot of violence growing up. Both of my cousins have an abusive, alcoholic druggy mother. The huge difference between our mothers is that, my mother adores my cousins and their mother hates them considerably. She chooses drugs over her children. My mother chooses our druggy cousins over us sometimes. They ended up living with us a short while, and there obsession with drugs and alcohol like their mother did not stop. We tried to stop them, but didn't work. After a long while I just stopped saying anything that my cousins were doing because it was pointless. At one time we finally broke through to one of my cousins and he started crying. That still didn't help my cousins wanted to drown in drugs and still live for them. Countless probation and interventions didn't help them either. Ones in prison now and the other roaming the back streets where all the drugs live. I tried to not say anything, I tried to ignore it like my brother. I finally lashed out and told my mother everything about them and how they are using her; I also did better than just telling her, I had a chance to show her and I did. She now won't become guilible towards my cousins fake affection now and drugs no longer play a part in our lives since we stay away from them. The violence is almost gone despite arguments between my mother and her ex boyfriend. The drugs are gone, the pain is lessening.

The video is more like a hopeful wishing of what should've happened. To say "You're worth more than this" and all the bad things would disappear and they would live their lives as they should be. In life being a failure to this, the evilness of it all remains to be stronger than the intentional goodness to save someone whose attached as kin. The silence is louder than words can ever be reaching to their ears.
