I have struggle with broken family for a really long period of time. That's one of my reason to study abroad. I cannot stand theur bickering. I know that it make me look like a coward but as a teenager who doesnt have anyone to support me, even my friend dont even know what i'm struggling, it's really fair for me.
Because of corona virus, i go back to my house. And today i witness something that make my heart shattered. It's like a normal day, my family run a small furniture business. I sit with my mother, long story short, my mother is the real owner of the shop and just say my father is a jerk. When they were married he said that he was single, and year later we found out he have three other kids with his exgirlfriend. We also found out that he use the money from our profit in our business to make a house without telling us. And he also always say that my mother have an affair, always suspicious ofthe use of the money when he hisself use it for his other 3 kids and hide some of our profit from the business.
Today my mother were counting the money and she ask my father wether there is another costumer who use card for paying. Suddenly without reason he burst out and keep saying that my mother is too suspicious about him. I mean literally i was there and i saw everything. It just a simple question, and he act like a madman. They were arguing for hours before my mother decide to go home rather than staying just to bicker for another hour. It shattered my heaart and in the same time become suspicious about his act, why he act that way when my mother just ask a simple question. I have no other option that assuming that he use some money to put in his bank card who he think we dont know about, but boy he was wrong. We know all about his rotten act.
What should i do with this situation. I dont even know how to handle this kind of situation, i try to stand up and give me my own idea, and guess what dis he say? "Dont you dare get into this problem, you dont know anything" when he always told me that i never hear their opinion ( which i do, i always listen to my parent) and he do exactly what he told me not to :/

I hate how angry I get and how dumb it sounds when I get upset over baking cookies. I'd started the day in a mood already so when it all went tumbling down. I s...
I think in this case it’s important to not deal with this alone. Be there for your mom and she will be there for you. She is also struggling but together the two of you can overcome this.
ReplyI agree with the other persons comment. You’re definitely not alone. Your mother has reason to ask about the money. And you are justified in your reason to be upset. Be there for your mom, and maybe talk to your friend about it. If you’re in an area where you can talk to someone like a therapist about all of this, I think that could help a lot. But you’re definitely not alone. So reach out to those who care about you.
ReplyBecause you are a teenager you can't really do anything. This is your parent's business. Perhaps suggest to your mother to leave your father and then she will be happier. But it is up to her what to do really.
