Does it end?
It’s been a week that’s for sure. My sister came to town last Wednesday; kind of a surprise visit, but it was nice to see her and my nephew. There was some shit happening where she is, so she came home for a visit. We had a lot of great talks about having our brother living with me, about what’s going on in her life and stuff like that. I am pretty certain after this weekend that we are going to keep my bro with us on a more permanent basis. She said to me that she felt his only chance at happiness was with us. The hubby asked me about that last week also, but I am thinking that we should wait a bit before we start that kind of request. I’m not sure how long to wait, my sis suggested about a year, but we shall see. The hubby and I also agreed that it would not change our plans to have a baby either, so that aspect of our lives is still on track. One thing that really solidified this reality was that it was my bros birthday this weekend. We had a nice supper on Sunday night and I brought a cake and such, and my parents didn’t even acknowledge that it was his birthday. Not a card, not a happy birthday, nothing. I couldn’t believe it. I was in shock! It was like they disowned him. It made me very sad. The hubby and I went all out on him for his birthday and got him an Xbox, I just couldn’t imagine how he felt about the whole thing, and not that buying things for someone makes up for what my parents did, but I hope that it made this birthday more memorable, in a good way. Our friends got him 3 more games for his Xbox and we all had supper together, and I hope that he feels okay about it. I really haven’t had a chance to talk to him, so hopefully we can talk today. I will be talking to my parents about what happened, when I am a little less pissed at them for it. Very sad.
Then, of course, I get a call from my dad this morning. Remember last March/April when I talked about my younger sister having trouble at the school because people thought she was the Columbine killer? It’s happening to her again. They said something about a journal she has. As far as I know, I read all of her journals, and she has not mentioned Columbine for months. Now they are having a meeting this afternoon about her, and that supposedly, they don’t want any of us around for it. Of course, they are not that lucky, and I will be there. I want to be sure that they are not trying to pin anything on her that she has not done. I guess that there are rumors going on about her doing the Columbine thing again, but yet, my bro has not heard anything about it while he’s been at school. That, and I will be pointing out that rumors do not always start with the person that they are about. Anyone could be saying that she is saying this stuff. It’s so stupid, and now that she is 18, they can charge her criminally and such, and I am not prepared to let then fuck her over. That school hates her, and can’t wait to get rid of her. All year she has been feeling like they are watching her, making sure that she is being a good girl. How unnerving is that? We shall see what happens this afternoon I guess. I just hope that she hasn’t been doing anything to bring this upon herself, but I have faith in her that this is just stupidity and paranoia.
Over and Out
