My dad came home today and told us about this conversation that he had with his colleague. So basically his colleague is 8 months pregnant and she married a divorcee with a 9 year old daughter. And because the father feels guilty towards his daughter, he gives in to her and everything. So she's pretty spoilt and she's starting to have negative feelings towards her unborn half sister (is that what you call her) and they're all a little worried that it would sour relationships and stuff. And yeah, she was asking for advice on how to handle this issue 'cause she isn't in the best position to say it.

Any broken family story is a sad one. And it doesn't matter whether the divorce was for better of for worse because something didn't work out that it had to be thrown away and destroyed. The most innocent product of a marriage is always the child and when he/she gets shuffled from parent to parent, even when it becomes a routine after a while, I don't know, won't they feel unwanted? And powerless. For probably being unable to keep the two most important people in their lives together.

Don't you think it's hypocrisy when adults talk to us about love and us not knowing how to love the right way when they're the ones getting into failed marriages and having affairs and all that bullshit?

Then I was thinking when would we know when's the right time to stand up and leave? There's a thin line between responsibility and obligation and how do we tell them apart? If I'm going to stick with my husband in an unhappy marriage for my child, yet I am suffering because my husband is an ass, then what becomes of me? Do I have the right to leave even if I know it makes my child sad? Do I continue hurting for the rest of my life in hopes that he'll change and give me a better life someday (never?)? And it's so confusing.

Moral of the story is to never end up with an ass, be it male or female, because you'll just regret afterwards. And it's just a personal belief that it almost impossible to change for someone. Like even if they do the remnants of their past will always always always be there. Like lol if you're just going to make me feel like shit all the time and never happy you should just go and disappear forever from my sight.

It's also amazing how at the age of 9 we are no longer children anymore. Perhaps if we turn the clock back to ten years ago and we have another 9 year old she'd probably not know so much but now with everything going on in the world, 9 year olds are exposed to so much more. And I think it sucks to know that at the age of 9 you know people don't stick around when they can't and the difficulty of continuing "happy family".

I hope things work out in the end. Family is so important, even though everyone overlooks that fact. I am guilty of not always cherishing my family. And each family has their own little way of working. Sometimes I feel like my family is there for the good and never for the bad because they're not exactly the most understanding and approachable people in the world. But that's just them and I love them the way they are. To each it's own I guess.

Sometimes if people pause for a moment, just break from being busy and going through the motions in life, and actually reflect on how things are turning out and the rights and wrongs of life, maybe people would end up happier and more at peace.
