I don’t have a troubled life, and compared to a few if my acquaintances/friends, I’m completely normal (on the surface). However, I will say shit goes down at my household. I used to think that a lot of the problems my family and I experienced were simply normal, but recently, people have been telling me otherwise.
It’s not like there is constant drama, but it’s frequent enough. For instance, earlier today, I attempted to deck my dad in the face, my brother was almost choked to death, and the police were called. I don’t feel like going into details, but the my point was that my life is slightly chaotic. I’m not trying to imply that this stuff happens everyday, but it happens often enough.
Unfortunately, most of the turbulence my family experiences is mostly my fault. My parents would like to believe my brother was behind most of it, but in reality, the problems can be traced back to me. A few years ago, I went through my little “rebel” stage in which I physically assaulted my dad a number of times, among other things. Now, my brother seems to be going through the same stage. I feel as if I’ve set a bad example for him, and I probably have. My brother has a lot of issues (deeper than he lets on), and I’ve never helped. I still don’t help, and I often find myself trying to escalate the drama for my own amusement.
I’m not completely at fault. My dad sucks too. And my brother.
