I can't give her happiness
"I have needs that you can't give"
Have you heard this line before? When and where? What comes to your mind after hearing it? What did you feel after you realize the meaning? Did you get mad and feel sad? Or you just let it go and didn't think about it.
I guess you already know what and where this article going and I hope you will not get annoyed at me later when you finished this reading.
Growing up in a broken family is a pain that you will carry till you get old. You will feel pity for experiencing this kind of punishment like what did you do to deserve this kind of heartache.
At the age of 5, I experienced the broken heart feeling. Imagine you witness your father choke your mother because she didn't give him money for his vice. You want to help her but you also get beaten. What can you do? You're still small and so weak. You can't do anything but cry and beg.
When I was a kid I believe all men is the same because I also saw it from my relatives and our neighbors. It seems normal for them to hurt their wife and children when they are drunk. They don't feel mercy when they are doing it.
Because of recurring events, I started to hate men. I told myself that I don't need a father if he only wants us to be his punching bag. Mom is enough for us. He is not a loss for us.
When they get separated I thought our life will be at peace and we'll live happily, but my assumption was wrong, I experienced more heartaches because mom left me from my relatives to my grandparents in the province. She bring my brother with her because he was still young at that time. She left and told me she'll be working to provide for our needs and soon she will get me back.
It was so hard to live there because you need to get along with them even you're still a kid. I didn't feel the treatment of being their grandchild but rather their slave. My grandfather hurt me when he is drunk and his wife (my step-grandmother) tweak my hair when I sleep already and didn't clean their mess. I waited for mom and prayed for her to get me but 4 years already passed she still didn't come back.
I studied very hard hoping that she will come back if she know that I am always top 1 in school. For praying so many years I guess, Lord already heard me. I get surprised by the news of our neighbor, she told me there was like a feast in our house, my mom and brother arrived.
Do you imagine my excitement? Hehe. Finally, I can escape to this place! No more tears at night! Mom is here, I will not get hurt anymore! Freedom awaits in the house so I ran fast. But my world stop when I arrived and saw Mom. She has a big tummy. She is with a man. She is happy. She left me to have a new family and now come home to flex it to me.
I stunned. Tears flow. What does she want to expect? That I should be happy because she already come back. I wish that time she never did because I get knowledge from my Auntie that she don't have plans to get me but just born her child then will leave after.
And it happened but her life with her new family didn't go the way she dreamed. It was failed relationship again. That man cheats on her. They get separated and I guess it's 7 years already passed.
Before she went abroad last 2019 we fix our relationship. She give me everything I need and got me an apartment. After a year she said she will come home for vacation. She said she want to be fetched at the airport. I prepared a welcome surprise for her in the house. I cooked her favorite food. I fetch first my half-sister and head and wait for her 8 hours in the airport. I thought I will surprise her but it went vice-versa, I get surprised. When we went outside and look for a taxi she stopped me.
Her: Zy wait!
Me: Why? (Then I saw a man coming near to us) I was stunned for a second because I know what is going on again. I turned around and walk very fast. Mom ran to me.
Her: Zy wait! She is not a man.
Me: So?!
I'm so angry. She never learned. I fight with her. I shout to them even it was Christmas Eve. I told her lover to leave but she have thick face. She doesn't want to stand up. P.S I don't hate tomboy's, I respect them but the situation at that time trigger me because they didn't respect me. They didn't think about our feelings, or just disregard me because I experienced a lot of heartaches and I'm used to it. But for God's sake! I wish they think about my half-sister. She is still young to be exposed to it.
Their relationship didn't last because of me. But mom has another tomboy lover again. I give up and I let her be. I guess I can't give her the happiness that she wants. I understand what it is. She's already an adult and hope she knows what's she's entering. I just don't want her to get hurt again.
Yeah, I become rude to my mom but it's for her own good. Raising a parent is a very hard dude! They are quite hard-headed! Who agrees with me?
Anyways, please don't hate me.
Thanks for reading! :)
Hi! Let's connect to my other socials (✿^‿^)
I'm sorry for that Kelzy. I thought it is some kind of fiction story but you know, there are no perfect parents. Some of them aren't matured yet in making decisions but know that they still love you and we should still honor them because they are our parents.
