Whew. This one? Did NOT want to be 100 words at all. Here you go!
When Martha's parents divorced, Leo called it a relief. Tish defended their mum. Annalise... defied words. Everyone drew lines in the sand. Except Martha. Sometimes, for Martha, her family happened at a remove, the kind that made her stop and think, "Seriously?" Eventually, she'd stopped watching her step and called things as she saw them. As a result, she'd become the family diplomat. She didn't mind. She loved them, mad as they were. If they hadn't made her who she was, she thinks, as she and the Doctor flee today's offended oligarch, she'd never have left Earth at all.
