What happens when life doesn't quite turn out like you would have chosen yourself? What happpens when your family is divided and one of your parents suddenly comes out? For Carolin Solskär (27) from Sweden, this was a turbulent time in her life, but eventually led to some important conversations that provided answers to many of her questions.
