Chapter 2: When you have to be there... for your mum.

Mum divorced my dad a year or 2 ago. i can't remember when exactly, but i found out one night after coming back from watching the MIB II sneak preview over a weekend with my JC classmates.

Surprisingly, things have been better now that mum and dad are divorced. she actually feels more relaxed, and i gotta admit the rest of us do too. but the only problem is the divorce case (regarding the alimony). that's the thing that's giving mum a terrible headache and large amounts of stress. that's why sometimes she ends up snapping at us. i really can't stand it, and neither can my siblings, but we just take it. we're sort of like her therapists (only no charge).

so i suppose that's where we come in. she didn't have 5 kids for nothing. and yet sometimes, i wish she wouldn't keep goin on about the case. it seems to be the only thing she talks about these days, everytime the lawyer gives an update. but like i said, we hear her out, though sometimes it's frustrating and irritating to keep hearing about it. but you gotta realise she's doin it for us. that's who the money is sort of for, cos the maintainence is not for her, but for us. weird right?

anyway, so sometimes i just don't want to hang out with my friends, because i know how much mum needs us. although she keeps asking whether we'd like to go out for lunch with them, instead of spending lunch with her, mostly i say no, cos i know that so what if you've got 5 kids and not even one of them is free to have lunch with you on a sunday? that's quite out of point.

somehow she knows me well enough (she's my mum anyway), and there've been at least 2 times where she's 'thrown' me out of the car on the way home to let me go eat lunch with my friends. it's really nice of her to do things like that, and at times like this i figure it's best not to argue with her. at least she cares that much.

tune in for the next episode: 'Kill Will'.... coming to this blog near you...

till next time....
