In a whirlwind of family drama, our protagonist finds himself in a hairy situation! His ex-wife Sylvia and her partner Alan have shaved their heads to support Alan’s son, Nolan, who’s undergoing chemotherapy. But when they pressure their daughter Violet to shave her head too, she refuses, and things escalate quickly. Sylvia accuses Violet of being stubborn and disobedient, but our protagonist stands by his daughter’s right to choose what happens to her own hair. Despite his sympathy for Nolan, he believes Violet’s mental health is more important than a forced show of support. As tensions rise, Violet is kicked out of Sylvia’s house, and our protagonist is left wondering if he’s the bad guy for not convincing her to shave her head in the first place. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this tangled web of emotions and decisions… ️
