That's right. Antagonise the potentially dangerous family members--and make no mistake, your entire family is completely screwed--with the shocking revelation that you're now living with people they went to war against. That will make your life so much easier.
Because being nice not only gets you an instant Get Out of Jail Free card, but also grants to all sorts of immunity against a scorned family who may want their daughter/sister back.
BECAUSE YOU LIED. AND ORESTES DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE. NONE OF YOU DID. OBVIOUSLY NONE OF YOU DID THAT'S WHY NONE OF YOU HAVE COME OR CAME TO GET ME WHEN I BROKE DOWN OR HOW I LEARNED OR EVEN TOLD ME IN PERSON OR ANY OF IT. NONE OF YOU CARE - YOU DON'T EVEN WANT ME YOU ALL LIKE AUNT HELEN MORE THAN ME SINCE YOU LET ME DIE AND NONE OF YOU STOPPED IT ONLY MOTHER BUT THEN SHE KILLED FATHER AND YOU KILLED HER AND I FEEL LIKE EXCEPT FOR CHRYSOTHEMIS WHO DIDN'T DO ANYTHING EITHER I'M THE ONLY SANE ONE AND IT'S FUCKING HARD AND NONE OF YOU CARE AND NONE OF YOU LOVE ME EVEN THOUGH IT'S ALL I'VE EVER WANTED...

I did not come to get you because... Because you should not be expected to associate with... The things I have done, needed to do--necessities, you see... It had to be done ... I let you die? Perhaps. Perhaps I let our dead fall underfoot after--but I did not kill you--Helen, I killed. We killed... they would not aid us afterwards.
I--I, we--both of us--all of us--have loved you. You and a father I had no living memory of until I landed here. Here to a family from the wrong places and the wrong times.

Worse? This does not get--well maybe if she was--no, it does not get worse. Except--except I suppose it has to since something was almost getting better and what goes up must come down...

...I don't understand you. I can't see the screen anymore - he didn't love me, Cubby. And you're Cubby because there no one else who is, the only thing left almost and then you lied and ah...I don't know anymore.

HE DID ... He did. Above all things, please try to believe that. I never knew him but I knew that. Some things--some things are just beyond us. She demanded you and--and--and no, I don't make sense. Not very good at managing, see?
I lied because ... I found myself faced with an impossibility and it was the only way I knew how to make it ... all right again.

AND IF HE LOVED ME HE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME. INSTEAD OF LYING AND MAKING IT SEEM LIKE THE DAY I ALWAYS DREAMED OF INSTEAD OF THE DAY I DIED. I would've - if he'd - if he'd done anything else he would have....
