Family visits are supposed to be warm, comforting, and filled with laughter—but sometimes, things don’t go according to plan. What started as a simple weekend back home for me quickly spiraled into chaos after a prank gone wrong turned into a serious argument between me, my brother, and my mom. Now, I’m left questioning whether my reaction was justified or if I overstepped in the heat of the moment.

So I have to ask: was I protecting myself in a scary moment, or did I cross a line I shouldn’t have?
