I didn't really understand my family until I moved to Puerto Rico as an adult. For, like, five years, I lived there, and before then, I had always assumed that the dementia, the craziness in our family, was specific to our household. Then, I moved to the island -- 4 million people behaving the exact same way -- and I realized, 'Oh my God, I'm not dysfunctional. I'm tropical!'
