Dream of child, married, mother, phone

I begin at my friend's house. His mother is talking to me in fast paced voice and telling me embarrassing stories about him and telling me personal details I did not want to know. Later, I am in the dining room eating dinner with his sister and brother. His sister is silent and his brother had taken away her dinner and said she wasn't allowed to eat until he wanted her to. At this point I was completely disgusted and just wanted to leave. That's when I finally see my ex, curled up in the fetal position, unable to talk to me. His roommate, a guy named Tom tells me, just because you have your family stuff figured out doesn't mean he has. I'm telling you this for your sake, not his, just leave it alone. I am walking on a path that leads to the house I go to in my dreams. I'm on the phone with my ex just talking happily. On the side of the road, a small child is sitting with a large book in his lap. He asks me,what do people do when they are in love. I stop my phone call and hold the phone to my side so my ex cannot hear my answer. They get married of course, I tell the child. And instantly I heard the phone hang up. I thought to myself I can't even think differently than you without upsetting you.
