let's balance things out, i get the feeling i was describing my life as picture perfect,
today, after a very usual morning of doing nothin at my family's firm, i went back to work after lunch to find everybody in a dead silence, this usually means something's happened, something serious, so i asked my sister what's going on, it seems my brother and his wife had a big fight, i'm not sure what about, i think she was giving him some shit about being late for lunch and tired as he was working like a son of a bitch all day and being ,one might call it a temperament person, he lost it and shouted back, it seems that his wife threatened to divorce him and take the kid upon which he threatened to kill her and then himself if she ever did that, i don't know how serious he was but shit can happen when tempers are flaring, she was trying to leave the apartment and take the kid with her but he wouldn't let the kid go with her so she threatened to call the cops and called my oldest sister to do something, she always gets in the middle of all the shit that happens in my family,i feel bad for her....she told me that that sort of thing happens at least once a year....anyways that turned my stomach upside down, all i could think about was that Lucia ( their kid ) was up there scared shitless ( like i was many times ) and her mother wouldn't listen to my sister and let her leave the apartment so she doesn't have to listen to them ( her words were " my daughter needs to hear this!"..how utterly selfish of her, of them...)..they both have very unstable tempers and she had huge fights with almost everyone in my family except me, i think she's bipolar or something because she seems very nice, but then again i never saw the other side of her.....anyways a couple of hours later they came back down all squared up....i guess they worked it out......maybe that's why i've been a bit too chirpy tonight .....i hate the fact that my niece is growing up in such an environment, after all the talk we had about how we're never gonna do the same thing to our kids as our father has done to us.....
reality bites......
