Since childhood I never felt that I am important to my relatives … As far as I know, I am not stubborn and rude but obedient and respectful… the reasons I asked myself why I didn’t catch my relatives’ attention and affection. Ano ba ang kulang?
When I was young, I didn’t see their presence during my graduation day (elementary and high school), recognition day, contests in school, santacruzan etc... But if it’s about my first cousins’ activities and events, they were all present and giving their full moral support. They just could see me if they would ask me a favor like “linisin mo ito etc, bumili ka nga sa tindahan nito etc, pumunta ka nga kay ganito blah blah blah… What’s worst, they didn’t know how to appreciate what I have done to them nor even I heard the word “thank you”. There were times na pag di tumama ang utos nila, masakit na salita pa ang inaabot ko… tanga daw ako etc… Perhaps, these are the reasons kung bakit lumayo ang loob ko sa kanila.
But now that I am matured enough, I tried to patch up something to become close to them at inisip ko na baka ako pa rin ang nagkulang… But until now, I didn’t get moral support from them… Nothing ever changes!
Recently, my sympathy and moral support goes to them when their lives were in trouble and they were at the saddest time of their lives… I would like them to feel that they are important to me. I knew that they have appreciated what I have done and it really made me smile…The reason why what they have done to me since childhood were all vanished.
But now that I am in trouble, as I expected, I didn’t get moral support from anyone of them… I am just floating alone in the air and nobody would like to catch me now that I am falling down slowly. They are the elders in the family, they must do something to settle or to solve the ordeal I am undergoing now. O kahit payuhan man lang sana nila ako kung ano ang dapat kong gawin at hindi iyung sabihin na lang nila na ako na ang bahala at ayaw nilang makialam. Even my parents and my siblings have no mouth to speak or sad to say they don’t have backbones to settle down the trouble between me and my sister. All I have to do is to decide for myself, kesehodang makarating na kami sa korte… I understand my parents if they could not give me moral support… I could not blame them because they are both sickly and old.
Two months ago, I have encountered trouble with my sister regarding my confrontation with her husband on slanderous act about me and my family. I don’t know if there’s a regret in what I have done, but for sure, I do not know where my revelation and confrontation would lead me especially when I don’t get moral support from my family and relatives. I just felt sad that they wouldn’t be affected of this trouble. I am expecting that the only thing that might keep my morale soaring are the continued support of my immediate family and close relatives but unfortunately wala sila nito. Mahirap lang kasi ang tatay at nanay ko kaya di nila kami o ako paborito. Marahil kung ako ay anak ng isang maykaya o 'nag aangat angatan sa buhay', they might be in a full force para suportahan ako o tulungang maayos ang gulong ito…
I think I am a kind of person who was trapped by an unfortunate circumstance. How lucky I am to have a very unsupportive family and relatives!!!
But the truth, I just felt so unfortunate being a “neglected pamangkin” knowing that these relatives of mine are protecting and giving their special attention to my cousins whose reputations are under questions also. They could not see the one being troubled, intimidated and needed help. Palagi na lamang ganito magmula pa nun bata ako hanggang sa ngayon...
They have to bear in mind that life is like a wheel… Probably the time will come and they would realize that something like shaky-situation, would wake up to the fact that, “ang mga taong pinagwalang bahala nila eh kakailanganin din pala nila.” Well, that will be definitely no GOOD!
