#5) I and my parents and my sister

I have one younger brother and one younger sister. I am not the only child in my family. In the past, I and my brother had a big difficult with our parents becuase of our sister. I always lack of love in my life. However, when I am growing up, our relationship become better.

In my childhood, I and my brother had lots of unhappy times. We thought our parents loved our sister more than us. Even though we knew that she was the smallest and sick, and our parents shlould took more care of her and gave her more loves, but we got a unhappy times for long period. I understood that why they spoiled her. I understood that she needed more love becuase she was sick. However, at that time, I and my brother were forgotten. We stayed at home lonely. We stopped all extracurricular activities, even piano lesson. We could not went anywhere except going to school. Becuase nobody had extra times to take care of us, even our relatives. We also could not went to hospital to visit them.

There were other families also had more than one child and one of their children was sick. But they did not have our problem. They coped with that situation better than my family. They brought their other children to hospital, whole family confront the illness together. After few years, the problem in my family was still here. They, three people, always went out and left I and my brother at home. They went to shopping, playground, lunch, dinner, etc,. It seemed that they were family but not included us. We were not equally in their love.

Two years before, I was 18years old. Somethings happened that between I and dad. I had just said that my sister would damaged the computer so that I could not repair it when I was not at home. Then my father began angry. He said that I was rude to my sister. Then the problem between us had came out at that time. He thought that I and my brother did not have qualifications to teach, lecture, and point out mistakes to my sister. Another thing is that my dad hit me first time becuase of my sister. I was not flow the clip away from my sister deliberately, I was just careless. But my dad thought that I was bully my sister, then he hit me. I was very disconsolate that time, and I thought maybe I should leave. Not becuase he hit me, the main reason was all the things together had make me depressed for a long time, and at that time all broke out.

Now, I won't care their love anymore. Maybe I get used to that and I find love from other. My sister, becuase her parents spoiled her a lot in the past, so she now become a great problem teenager. She makes parents having lots of great troubles. And now, they just discover that how I am a good child, even in the past. When I am growing up, I don't need more parents' love, so I don't care that now. Therefore, our problem between us seems disappeared. Now, I am not in home, so the oppourtunity of happen arguments is equal to zero. I think it is a chance for repairing our relationship.

Hi Akina,

Thanks for sharing about your family life. I hope your family relationships will get better...have you ever heard the phrase "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"? I hope the separation brings you all closer together...
