Family woes.

[origami_paper]

You know, I've never actually said I hate my family, but there are so many problems that are present that it makes me really sad. There's always some screaming going on, some kind of argument and while my family doesn't resort to any physical violence, it still hurts when loud words are exchanged. I think the root of the problems comes from my

Oh dear. I really hate it when I hear words with "DIE". I don't think it's sxomething that can be taken lightly. Maybe you guys should have a talk as a whole? 'Cause it's getting pretty ugly... But I'm glad there's level-headed you. Hang in there! *hugs*

I know.. the thing is, our family isn't really one of those families that sit around together and have nice big talks, it's really hard to get everyone in the same room. And this has been going on for years.

I'm just really shocked and sad that my eight year old brother is picking up such harsh behavior so early and I feel that my brother will have to grow up sooner or later, whether he wants to or now and feel pained at his ways.

I try to explain to them, but it's been way too long and I don't really know how to approach the situation delicately enough (especially in Chinese) to everyone so that they would understand and realize that I'm not blaming or criticizing them. .__.

Oh yeah, you're Chinese, too! Wow. That must be really nice. I mean, we're all supposed to be close to our family, right? >.

Yeah, the thing is, I'm totally close to my family. I really really love them. But my brothers are less traditional. The older brother is totally antisocial and after years of isolating himself on the computer, I don't think he has any kind of kinship with anyone. I think he's improving a little though, his temper isn't quite as severe.

But my little one is spoiled to the core, which is a shame because he's such a sweet kid. But when he doesn't get something that he wants, he kind of takes on a personality of my other brother. Also, since I'm no longer here (in college) to tell my youngest brother how to properly act, I feel that he's mimicking the other brother.
