In Escape From Happiness, we find a uniquely dysfunctional family with every character showing similar, but individual motivations towards something better for themselves or the people around them.

She speaks with the honesty of her character in not understanding her sister Elizabeth's actions. She's abandoned her child yet again bec .....
