she’s not here
it’s no secret that my sister moved out of home… well actually it is…
my parents put on this fake facade that everything is fine, and that my sister is just “out” with friends…especially when it comes to family. Mind you, we have a lot of family.
I think they do this because it’s better to keep up appearances than to admit defeat, that they cannot control their out of control daughter for starters. However, the other thing that we need to note that Moving out of home is not the worst possible thing that you can do. It’s just, in a traditional asian family, you just don’t leave unless it’s for work, school or getting married.
if someone asks me, i just tell them my sister moved out but nobody asks me.
if they ask my parents- she’s either on a holiday, at work, or hanging out with friends… which isn’t really a lie, except they should really say ‘she’s moved out’ but they don’t.
Partly because they want my sister to look somewhat respectable to family… i don’t know why they bother. I mean if she-being my sister, cared about half of those things, she wouldn’t have moved out or defied my parents on so many levels.
I don’t know.. this whole playing charade thing just does my head in.
You know what’s lame? every other family member who’s got a son/daughter who’s moved out for no reason at all, does exactly the same thing. Even though we all know that nobody lives in their home.. why all the trouble? because nobody likes to be gossip
