beyond understandings


' Happy families are all alike. Unhappy families are all unhappy in their own way.'
- Leo Tolstoy -

I reacted badly. I asked mother to leave my home which she is paying for. That sister of mine, i told she she should move out. I regret that things should be this way between mother and i. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg.

I am a staunch believer of necessity. If the relationship is strained, both parties should come forth and talk things through, regardless of the consequences. If Mother had something to say to me, she should have come out and said it to me, not to the sister who i have now come to believe is manipulatively trying to steal every millisecond of attention that is not directed her way.

Are we beyond understanding each other? Did that ship pass us by? I will talk to you mother, but with you alone. There comes a time when a child needs to reclaim its trust in its parents.
