family

They say that your family brings out the best and worst in you--to the latter, I would vouch for wholeheartedly. The curse of familial convention has it that because I am younger, it’s okay for me to take emotional battery from an older sibling-- in Asian and so many other cultures, the emphasis and the power is placed on the first-born son. Mom, Dad, no it’s not okay. My only regret is that he saw how he brought me to tears and I could have felt the satisfaction which it gave him. And it’s really not fair, that my feelings, my sense of self-worth must be put aside... just because... we’re family.
