unnecessary apologies
30.6.13
To be honest I feel quite iffy when people ask about my family (without knowing the fact that my parents have divorced) and then proceed to apologise when I tell them 'they're divorced'.

I don't understand that at all. But that might be for my case only, since I didn't feel much when it actually happened. I was glad that they chose to divorce, but at that time I was in primary and my dad was really strict with homework and everything so I was pretty happy when I thought it meant that there was more freedom and everything haha. I've never seen my parents show affection towards each other, whether that be a peck on the cheek or just lying on each other watching TV or anything- none of that. There was conflict nearly every day and I could only sit there and watch my Dad be unreasonable towards Mum, which is why I'm always on mum's side (and my dad says ‘你良心被狗吃掉了' whenever I don't side with him). I honestly felt glad for my mum when she could finally leave and discontinue her role as a victim of my dad's injustice and his impatience. But yeah, there were no hard feelings on my side. You could say that it didn't impact me at all, I didn't feel any sadness nor was I emotionally unstable.

But yeah, unless you were the cause of all the conflict and suffering, then don't apologise lol.
