For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was "not blood" and "not family." Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer. My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one.
