Its no secret when I say that my parents are splitting up. I mean it has happened a lot over the time. Second families and second marriages and annulment are not foreign in our family. (And I think its an in thing in the society right now, I can already visualize the "irreconcilable differences" excuse my parents might use.)
I came home a little later than usual. I was too busy laughing with my business communications professor, we were laughing about "coming" and the five words "please, don't, stop, faster, harder." There is a very nice and funny story behind that which I will leave for later. So I came home, as I was eating dinner, I heard my dad screaming, then as I tried harder to listen--- my mother whispering... (maybe scream isn't the right term, more like yelling.) My dinner alone routine while my sister was watching, was carried out in silence. We were talking about trivial things. As if we were not hearing anything.
Its happening again. Why? I think this time I wouldn't be able to come up with an excuse to help them from breaking up like teenagers. I wouldn't be able to pout, make my eyes look round as a kitten and tell them I am a kid and I'm happy my family is not broken. Its real this time. Its happening.
Just letting you in on my family's problems. You guys take care.

I didn't know you were back to living with your parents. Anyway, here's a hug. It's unfortunate that this is all I can offer for now. I want to tell you that it will be okay and that things will get better, but to be honest (from what I've been hearing from you recently) I think their relationship is getting worse.
ReplyDeleteBe strong for now, please. Like what you said, you can't use the 'stay-together-for-the-sake-of-the-kids-please' argument any longer. There could be another way for you to help, although the result may not be what you want. For now, take care of yourself and do what you have to do.
Lots of love,
Chihiro
Aaaaw Kleenex. Sorry to hear that. :(
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I'm supposed to respond, thank you doesn't seem right.
ReplyDeleteI have been for some time now. Yes, the relationship they have is getting worse. Dad slept in the living room and mummy slept in their room. I'll take your advice and stay strong.
Thanks you guys. :)
