When History Repeat Itself.

I was furious today because of my 2nd Brother and his wife. His wife went home early and I thought she left work because she wants to spend time with her children but it was not. She left work because they are going to my 3rd Brother's house for a drinking session and left their 4 kids at home without having dinner. What an irresponsible parent they are. I told my Mother to talk to them and tell them to at least be considerate about being a responsible parent. But Mother did not listen so I told her that - History repeats itself. Same thing to what had happened to us before when we are still kids. When Father was in prison and only our Mother is the only thing we can rely on but she was out of sight every day. The memories are still fresh. Mother will leave us from work and have my cousin take care of us, and she will arrive home very late and drunk. Often times she will get pissed because my Brothers will cry seeking attention from her but she will end us ignoring them. Until she got pregnant with someone else baby. And now, I think karma is hitting her now because she is suffering from the same sickness as I am. Father doesn't love her anymore because of her bad attitude towards us. She hates me more because I have someone who loves me and takes cares of me. While she has no one. I should pity her but every time I think about the wrong she has done for us, I despise her.

Oh my! My friend says this about her father - he is the one who was drunk all the time when they were young. Mom took care of them, but she was not well herself and passed away young. And now my friend is the only one taking care of this drunk father even though she lives the farthest . . . the other grown kids say they don't want to help their father because he never took care of them. I'm sorry you are going through this with your family.

@JustBhem Maybe she has a lot of regrets in her life - and at this point she feels she cannot fix them. She is perhaps envious that you have a better head on your shoulders and reacts this way.

@much2say I think so, but she already has plenty of chances but she just ignore us.

Yes, the very sad situation when you are the one who pays the bills and no appreciation from the Mother instead hates you.

Maybe because of marrying too young and she did not enjoy her youth so well?

It is awful you have to live amongst that. What a sad life all these kids lived and are living.

I am so sorry. Those kids need their mother, their parents should be more considerate. You mother is really a mean woman.

That is why I told her History repeats it's self because that is what my 2nd Brother and his wife are doing to their kids. They will go out and leave their kids without someone attending to them at night.

@JustBhem Your brother got the bad example from his own mother. This is so sad.

Like no matter how hard I tried to let go here, I still can't because of some priorities I need to take charge first.
