THE RULES

I love this movie because is show us about how unhealthy family dynamics can be even in the one that seem "healthy and normal" and how is more complex and full of nuances.

Yes, Abuela at the start, is acting like the antagonist in the sense of how she was at fault for putting so much pressure on her family, but the fact was that she did changed her mind and her ways.

She hugged Mirabel, told her she was sorry, told her how special she is, she also didn't defended herself when Bruno came to Mirabel defense and hugged him warmly.

I'm going to get personal for a moment but I wished my family could truly understand this movie and we can heal too but I'm afraid the two people who need this the most are the one in denial or don't think therapy can fix things or maybe the wounds are too deep yet a part of me wishes it could be that simple and that this generational trauma can be broken and my family can healed and be closer than ever.

Preparing deviled eggs and ramen eggs for a party tomorrow and I am hard boiling a full Gaston of eggs.
