| I haven't been blogging much because talking (in cyberspace, too) has become too painful.
Anyway, my mother has decided not to move in. We had a terrible fight last week which involved her yelled at me for helping my dad clear his things and then me running away.
Today during moving, she threw boxes down the stairs, ordered us to move things although the movers were around, and swooped down her paws like a huge scary vulture onto my dad's furniture (drawers, shelves, which I'm supposed to have kept for my sister, tv, and my dad was furious). Chris was playing in the dust, and I got my head banged by a metallic shelf falling down. Sze Han got shouted at as usual. I think the worst part was when she wrestled my 9-year-old bed from me on the basis that she paid for it.
I feel very disheartened about this move as it isn't one of those happy moving days which promise the start of new beginnings and a nostalgic throwing away of memorabilia. This is an all out war of who takes what and who is sitting around not doing anything. 30 over years of stuff isn't funny, when they are stuff you grew up with, wedding photos and things that are not wanted because they remind too much of each other. This is all about them, and their stuff, and them getting angry at me is because I remind them of why they stuck together when all they really wanted to rip each others' faces out, but not before they suck every cent they can from the other.
I hope to never divorce. |
