For me, the theme is something like "family: secrets vs. expectations of normality"

My biggest issues so far have been:
1) coming out of the closet to family
2) depression/anxiety throughout my family
3) abuse and related disorders my sister suffered as a kid and kept secret from us for fear of triggering symptoms of #2 in my mom, especially. Eventually led to a schism with me as the go-between.
This all sort of exploded in the last couple of years, and even though nothing has really been fixed yet, the worst seems to be over. That in itself is a kind of a good feeling, though one I'm afraid we'll content ourselves with rather than really make things right.

Wow, Nate, if eating what you like were something that needed to be earned, then you earned it.
