The first cause I'm going to is the family problems or issues with a family that can't be solved. The problems with the family started way before we moved, it was between my mom and her sister has problems with my uncle having a second wife and child with her.

My excitement was overtaken by the fear of the challenges waiting ahead of me and my family.…
