It’s official and I’m not going to pretend anymore, just so I become that daughter who is so trying hard to be a good one. I HATE MY FATHER. I’m sleeping and waking to that thought everyday for the rest of my life. He makes me sick. I believe him with all the values he has taught me. Yes, I embrace them because they are supposed to make me good. I am good, except that goodness actually comes from hypocricy.
Why wouldn’t I have trust issues? Should I blame my father? I won’t even give him the pleasure of that thought. He thinks it anyhow. This morning I heard him say, “Home is way better without me.” Yeah, I am here but I am like a ghost or non-existent being. My brother Mikhail is the only one talking to me. Why? Because I think mom has told him so. I might kill myself. Guess what, I’m doing it. Life is happier without me. Why have they even asked for a child? I wish I have never been born.
I sound so pathetic, I know. But should there be something wrong with me. Yes. I don’t blame myself. I don’t blame anybody. What’s use blaming if they could not live up to their mistakes? At least, I own my setbacks, failures and flaws.
My father doesn’t really care except for himself. I listen to my grandmother’s broken heart. He does not even realize that. The things he have done to his own family. Why have I come home in the first place? Because, I don’t want to repeat his mistakes that he have done to his parents. But no, he pushes me away to do such unimaginable things.
Like, why I haven’t married Kieran? Because, my parents have eloped and got married. It should be the case with Kie and me. But hey, it works anyhow. Why would I want to marry a guy who is exactly the splitting personality of my father? Pride and more pride. It’s the very reason why I don’t like being in authority or even in the spotlight.
Hate is a very strong word. Anger is even stronger. But if it is something that would make me fight for life, I would not withdraw from such feelings. Actually, I am contemplating for a tattoo that says, “I am not my father’s daughter.”
I’m going to raise hell.
