Family woes
I apologize to anyone I've spoken to in the last couple of days. I've been a little off, I know. It's just that I've been kind of stressed out and upset with things involving my family.
Okaa-san is back home from her trip to see my grandparents in Brazil now. And a little less cheerful about things than she typically is as a result. It seems Avozinho is in worse condition than we originally thought. He forgets the things he is doing half of the time and he's now having to use a wheelchair because he's gotten too weak to move around on his own. The Alzheimer's is apparently developing faster than expected and because of that, we honestly don't know how much longer he'll be able to fight against it. We could be lucky and he'll still be around for years to come...or it could be a matter of months. We don't know. But finding this out has put a damper on pretty much all of our moods. And it's hitting Otou-san just as bad as it is Okaa-san. Avozinho has been like a surrogate father to him ever since his family disowned him for marrying Okaa-san. He's been a little short-tempered because of the news and snapping at me, Akaya, and Noé. He usually apologizes afterwards for it, but I can understand. It's troubling all of us.
Though while Okaa-san was still over there with them, I brought up the idea that Yagyuu had suggested to me when she called to check on all of us. (BTW, Okaa-san says thanks and that you should stop by for dinner sometime.) Since it's frustrating knowing he's in this condition, but we can't go and see him since he's half a world away from us, why don't we just have him come and live in Japan with us? Him and Avozinha could both move over here. Okaa-san liked the idea, of course, so she suggested it to them. But as I expected, it looks like Auntia Benedita wasn't quite as open to the idea, since that would mean they would be moving away from being near her. So her and Okaa-san got into an argument over it with my aunt saying that since she's the eldest child, she should be the one helping to look after my grandfather, not Okaa-san, and that my mother should stop being selfish and move all of us back home to Brazil if we wanted to be near my grandparents....Of course, her saying that just caused Okaa-san to start shouting at her and the argument got even worse and now they're currently not wanting to talk to each other at the moment. >>; If this is how siblings normally act, then I'm kinda glad I ended up an only child. I also suggested that maybe Auntia Benedita could move out here also and that would fix the problem, but since Okaa-san is still upset with her, I don't think she's brought that part of the idea up with my grandparents yet. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. With luck, things will work out in our favor. Of course, if my aunt moved out here, that would also mean Fernando would probably come with her. And I'm not so fond of the thought of seeing my asshole of a cousin on a regular basis. T_T; It still kinda disturbs me thinking he's actually Noé's older brother. They're nothing alike. Noé's a good kid. He's sweet-natured and cares about everyone. Fernando...is not. Very not. And he enjoys pissing people off for no other reason than because it makes him laugh. >>
But this isn't the only thing that has happened lately that has stressed me out. Because a couple of days ago while I was out with Okaa-san at the Mycal Honmoku shopping mall helping her look for summer clothes for everyone, we...bumped into Akaya's parents...no, they don't deserve that title the Kiriharas. We kinda just stared at one another for a moment, and for a second I thought we would all just walk away from each other and that would be the end of it. But I guess everything with my grandfather had already made Okaa-san feel on edge, so she just snapped and slapped Kirihara-san, shouting "varão imprestável" (worthless man...or stupid boar) at him. I ended up having to pull her away from him, since she kept trying to hit him and was shouting a bunch of curses at him in Portuguese. But...then Kirihara-san called her a gaijin whore...and I snapped. Nobody insults my mother and gets away with it. Sure as hell not a piece of trash like him. So I punched him. The mall security ended up having to intervene and tear us all apart from one another before we finally went our separate ways. But I don't feel bad for what I did. In fact, I hope the bastard has that black eye for sometime to come.
So yeah. Sorry if I'm not acting like myself for a while. I'm just...upset. With things I can't fix. Everyone please put up with me while I'm dealing with this. Hopefully I'll be back to normal soon enough.
[OOC: WOES. Emo Jackal. D; But yeah, he's kinda emotional and snippy right now as you can see. Other characters are more than welcome to abuse that if they like, for it'll give my boy something to do if there's a bit of drama going on. ^^;
Oh! And Renjikins~! If you haven't noticed it yet, I sent the start of our log to your inbox! :3]
