Putting family first isn't always easy.

Many would argue that it should be the simplest decision in the world to prioritize your close relatives, but real life proves time and again that circumstances can make that difficult in a way that is going to make things turn out worse for everyone. There are plenty of people out there who do not get the privilege of a secure family unit, which can often make it more complicated to do what every single family member wants when it comes to the hard decisions. It isn't a pleasant position to be in.

What is even more difficult is that some people are expected to make these difficult choices at a fairly young age, further complicating the already complicated phases of adolescence and young adulthood. When this happens, the most important thing is that a young person makes sure that their voice and opinion is heard.

In this story, a teenager felt stressed as his mom had asked him to apply for visitation rights with his younger brother once he turned 18. She was currently incarcerated, and wanted to make sure that her kids were able to spend time together.
While the older son loved his brother, he felt unsure about making this move due to his brother's father, who had never had a good relationship with him or his mother. Living with his mom's boyfriend, his brother already visited occasionally as well. He looked to others for advice.
