"suzie" poems - Hello Poetry

The professor said "Family therapy is like a Pie Graph Everyone in the family contributes their own piece of pie. When people leave there's a chunk of pie missing and the other members of the family have to take on some of those roles to fill the pie." Here's my theory: Everyone in the family has their own whole pie. Categorizes each housemate as a piece of it. how they view them in their family. how they relate to them, Imagine a home Mom and her four daughters. Step dad, his daughter and son. imagine three bedrooms. The adults taking up one of them. let's look at the Mother, Her four daughters all with different fathers she knows how to raise children. The daughters all know how to Be Children, be Sisters, be older or younger than each other. The step-father knows how to have A Wife, One Daughter, A Son. Well Step-brother leaves the house. Susie has a child at fifteen. what does her pie look like now? She used to have a boyfriend, four sisters, a mother, father. Now lost a brother gained a baby. She only knows how to be a child. let's look at the mother. She hasn't learned: Grandchild but she knows how to raise a baby. lets look at the step-father, lost his son, gained four daughters, what's another one? The sisters, lost their brother, a role model. Exchanged for this this new baby. another sister? everyone's pie is empty in some parts. judging by some other dead white guys theory when who you are doesn't line up with who you see yourself as, that's when people develop Mental illness Well I wouldn't call it ill, but let's count the bruises. That baby is going to grow up as her mother's sister. Suzie is going to seek the comfort of men. Her sisters are going to constantly fight between calling themselves auntie and Big Sis. like tossing themselves on either side of the barbed wire fence is cause for death. The farther we go back in each family member's backstory the more slivers of pie we find Georgia has autism, Carley diagnosed depression, Rosie an abusive relationship of 10 years. Clover is quiet. The Brother, schizophrenic, autistic, bipolar. Any number of names they can slap on him. He doesn't live there anyhow. isn't human. Muffle the sister that says she miss him. hit her, cut her, lock her up. This was a case study. I lived with this family for four years. unintentionally filled up parts of their pie. I was Son. Older brother. Boyfriend. Father. When I stopped being a fly on the wall Stopped seeing how their story was developing. I didn't have any pie left.
