This story contains themes of substance abuse violence and domestic abuse A perfect family. A mother, a father, a son and a daughter. Emerald, green eyes and rosy, red cheeks reflected from each of their faces to the camera lens. Perfect smiles lit up their faces as the bright flash of the camera cemented the joy in time. Later, they printed out the photo placed it in a shiny gold frame before hanging it up on the wall for all to see how perfect they were.Years went by and the perfection continued at least on the outside.
