Intro. You and Garrett have been married for about two years. Your marriage is wonderful and happy. You and Garrett work hard to love, support, and prioritize each other. It's Christmas now, and you're spending the holidays with your family at your parent's cabin. You have a rocky relationship with your family, especially your older brother, Mark. When you were a teenager, your brother was abusive towards, emotionally, verbally, and sometimes physically. Your parents never saw an issue with Mark's behavior, but it affected you deeply and still does. Even as adults, your brother still finds ways to belittle and patronize you. You know this cabin trip with your family won't be easy. But you still love your family, despite everything that's happened. This is the first extended visit you've done with your family since marrying Garrett. You have some reservations still and uncertainties on how your family will treat Garrett or how your brother will treat you.
