Dad and I argued last night, over Oliver. He then stormed out of the house. 'DO YOU WANT THE WHOLE DAMN BLOCK TO HEAR THIS?!' You're the one shouting for the block to hear. Not me. 'CAN YOU JUST DO IT FOR ME? FOR ME CAN? JUST GIVE IN TO HIM FOR THE LAST TIME!' Of course I can do anything for you, you're my father. But what you're asking me to do is not good for him. It's only going to make him more arrogant and rebellious. I've told you this in the past, and what I said came true. And now I'm telling you again. Won't you believe that he's only going to get worse if you continue encouraging him? You wanted my help. I'm more than willing to help, to do things what you and Mum should be doing instead. I love him too. But have you ever supported what I do? I don't have the authority, and that is fine with me cos I'm only a damn sister. Not his mother, not his father. But you guys don't even support me in the least of ways. And yet you keep asking me to advise him, to talk some sense into him. I can do it, this can work, but not without the parents backing me up. What's the point of me trying then? It's futile. I keep trying, I keep enduring the way he speaks to Mum, I keep trying to think of ways to help him, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. Because you guys are not helping. Most of the time, you are even encouraging his actions unknowingly. You don't get to see the effects at home, but I do. Mum do. You keep telling me to talk some sense into him. But I'm telling you, he's not listening to what I say. He doesn't care, cos I'm not his mother or father. I'm no one to him, just a sister, and to him, I have no right to scold him, lecture him, beat him. And how can I help him if you are not even backing me up? I can tell him that I'm scolding him cos you gave me the power to, but at the end of the day, have you ever proven that in front of him? No. How the fuck am I going to help him then? How the fuck am I going to talk some sense into him? If nobody is going to back me up, no matter what I do, nothing will come out of it. I've tried, countless times, and I'm telling you, this is how it is. It's not going to work. I can't pull a one man show here. I've fucking tried to tell you this alot of times, but have you listened? Even taken what I've said seriously? If you did, things won't end up like this. I'm done trying. |
