EPTI was sitting there at my table having a nice conversation with my two friends before christmas in my new apartment. A bit lacking in decoration sure but not still I felt confident that at least I wouldn't feel embarrased by it. I just completed my driver's license yay! At the amazing age of 27. Im old now. and still really bad at driving.
Then my brother texts on the phone that dad is drunk again. And that he has hit my mom in another of his stupid drunken rages. Apparently his leg hurts after the operation last wednesday and he's mixing the meds and alcohol again. At least that's what I think is happening considering he's been on pain meds for his back for some time and I can't imagine the back problems has suddenly stopped. I call my brother and tell him to come over to my place and sleep. He's moved home after a nasty girlfriend with the mother of his daughter. Home with my father and mother. He's living on the old farm which has plenty of room for 3 people and some dogs but somehow feels cramped as hell cause they haven't built the fucking bathroom on the first floor after what feels like two years. So now everytime you get up in the morning and have to take a piss after dinner you have to walk through 2-3 dogs.
So my brother is stuck with my drunk father who hit my mother who then proceed to call the police who then proceed to talk to my father. Not like they did anything other than embarass my father. And somehow he holds it against my brother for calling the cops. Instead of beating his ass when he acts like a fucking child. Violence isn't in my nature or my brother. But how do show something is unacceptable if they act like 8 year olds when they are 60.
Eventually my brother heads up to me and sleeps on my couch with his dog. He's getting his daughter tomorrow.
It's difficult to manage family problems.
We ended up spending christmas at our parents with my dad and mom. Too tired to write the rest of this little family gem of happiness out. Might just do it tomorrow when i wake up.
I still hope you all had a merry christmas and a happy new year. I had the opportunity to celebrate new years with them tomorrow but I just can't make my myself spend anymore time with them right now.
