🍒 Chapter 18: The Boiling Point • Part 2

Cece returns home hoping for resolution — and instead encounters further escalation. This episode explores a traumatic breakdown in family dynamics: arguments, a panic attack, a physical altercation with her brother, and the removal of her car keys to prevent her from leaving. Family counseling follows, but her father refuses to take responsibility for his behavior, deepening the rift. The chapter illustrates how cycles of blame, fear, and control can trap everyone involved — and how painful it can be when accountability never arrives.
