Kuni Unravelling of the Universe Well, I'm going to start from the top. My sister spent 400 dollars on her phone bill in two days and everyone got mad at her. She ran away and left my mom a bunch of stupid messages, rebellious ones. She is the type of person who has no respect for others and is pretty spoiled thanks to my father. And yesterday she came back, not even responding to anyone. Even with simple questions like, "Want some milk?". Anyway, today my dad got into a fight with my aunt because he's still spoiling her. Now my dad is thinking of moving out of the house (We live with my aunt and uncle)with my sister and wants to take me along for the ride. I'm at a loss. In three whole days all of this happens and I predicted exactly what was going to happen, somehow. I predicted my sister would come back in a day, I predicted that a divorce would probably take place (even if I wasn't too serious about it), and now I'm guessing this will probably all be over with by the end of the week and it will be like nothing ever happened. But I'm still shooken up a little. I mean, for 17 years of life, just before graduation and college, my parents get a divorce? I just need words of wisdom here. Advice on what to do. Naru Narusegawa Unhappy family situations are difficult, no matter what age. A couple of us here at the Relief Office come from unstable families but we've all learned to cope in our own ways and move on with our lives. The best thing to do is be forgiving of everything your family does and try your best to be happy at the same time. Realize that the net worth of your life isn't connected to anything your family does - you are your own person and your own happiness is in your hands. As they say, you can't pick your family, only your friends... so try your best to do what you can for your family because it's the only family you'll ever really have. Naru Narusegawa Sometimes it can be hard to forgive the ones you love especially when they hurt you. You just have to work to be stronger and realize that by being the better person, you become a better person overall. Shinobu Maehara Please be well!
