Inperfect ME
The last entry ends with a "but", will blog about it now.
I first came back to Kluang 22yrs ago in 1990, incidentally my dad was sick, I started taking care of him. Sad to said he pass away a year latter, so I stay back to be with my mom and my young daughter than. Since mom pass her food stall to me, in all these years whenever my other sibling came back for holiday or festive season all welfare was on me, the food, the comfort, and I have to bear all cost. When during CNY it's about 23paxs for 4 to 5days, I am not complaining, love to have everybody home happy and jolly, cooking for them it's a pleasure when I watched them enjoying the food.
But it's always not enough, in the pass 22yrs, every others CNY someone will pick on me to quarrel, I remember the first was(don't remember which year).....mom birthday is on the 13th day of CNY on the lunar calendar, so we normally will either cooked at home or to a restaurant. This particular year my brother wanted to have the dinner at home because our family had quite a few young child so it's kind of inconvenient for children to ran about in the restaurant, as I pass the words around I was pickby my younger sister for insulting her children being naughty, was being scold so badly, we had a quarrel, this was the first.
2years latter, my elder sister scolded me for giving less angpow money to her children and more to the others. Even this I was pick and scolded on a CNY.
Another 2years latter, on the 2nd day of CNY my younger sister and her husband came to the house and scolded my brother for some matter about her son, and when my brother explain, my sister and her hubby had no reason to fight him and was embarrass, they pick on me for hearing wrong and calling the wrong person out, you know.. her husband came to the extend of wanted to bash me and that was really really a very very bad one, because I had so many guests in my open house.
Another 2years latter nothing happen because I had a heart attack on the 2nd day so no chance to pick on me. I survive 4 seizure
Another 2years latter mom's passing on, and off course many happening like sharing mom's assets.
And this year my favorite brother scolded me so badly because I scolded his grandson. He was the last person I can think of for picking on me.....so something is wrong with me...
I had been thinking and wonder what's wrong with this family????? I felt I was and obstacle of the family never treated as one even though I had sacrifices so much trying so hard to keep the family together always doing the best for them, the comfort of the house never once complain, It's so sad that no one appreciate me. To think of it I must be the problem, if not why always me? So since I am the problem I might as well disappear, then life will be much better and happier for them, so I had decided to leave this house, and retired this year. Year of the Dragon 2012 will be my last year in my parent's house.
I had done what I should have, taking care of my dad and mom when they are sick until they pass on, what else do I own them? And what have they done for my parent???
Nobody is perfect, I never consider myself as perfect, but at least I tried my best to be, maybe I tried too hard, or maybe I am really not a good person, too frank, unable to be superficial......
Whatever it is, life will be better for them without me.......
Guess another chapter of my life will soon being.

Hmmm....
I really don't know much about your culture and how to handle family issues into it... but what I know is that you were the only one who take care of your parents when they needed most. You did it great! And sure they loved that.
You are not the one who have a problem. You are a very good person who deserves to be recognized for all the things you do for your family.
If they don't appreciate it... that is their problem.
I'd say... take your time and take distance... they will understand why you did it... if not... well... you deserve to be happy and to live in peace with yourself.
I know you will make the right decision.
Take care

Thankyou Lorenza, I just follow my heart.....
Letting go is also a blessing :)
.. And there I was thinking you had a great CNY this year from reading your previous post. From reading your blog, I can feel that you are a good person so please don't think otherwise. I also support your decision. No need to fight with people who are not worth your time.
Thks Mun...feeling much better already....TQ
I just go thru a few blogs... in the point of stranger... Things happen for a reason... Good or bad can never determine by anyone... If we all just listen to one side of story, people will tend to think wow you are so nice, making another party of your family like a monster... nobody is perfect in the world, if one party have mistake the another one surely also do the mistake... it takes 2 hand to claps... Family is always family... how bad it turns out, family is still the closest people you will have in the world...
Thankyou Balancing, for droping by and your precious comment.
