Awkward Truth

Like most blended families, Amiable Figure (AF) enjoys a harmonious relationship with various family members. However, the levels of these relationships are different and thus, AF seems to favor one side over the other. AF revealed her sentiments to a close friend.

AF realized that she feels out of place with Home One (HO). The way they view life is different and AF cannot fit in at times. AF feels the distance, but maintains good relations to keep the communication lines open. They are family, after all.

By contrast, another side of the family welcomes AF without the heaviness she feels with HO. AF can be herself and her pressure is less with them. Moreover, AF thinks she is better understood when she’s with that side than HO.

Things changed between AF and HO a few year ago. AF was busy with her commitments, while HO was expanding and growing. The way the home was managed affected AF, who felt her freedom was being limited. Subsequently, AF explored the path towards independence. HO let her go, as AF had to journey through life and gain experiences on her own.

Time further changed things for the better. AF and HO are enjoying a smooth relationship. When AF learned of a major decision of HO, she declined an offer. HO insisted she has to be part of the decision. Rather than create conflict by insisting she does not want to have active participation, AF went with the flow and let HO handle the matter. For now, AF’s relationship with HO centers on respect and gratitude.

‘So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family, that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty. All other pacts of love or fear derive from it and are modeled upon it.’ − Haniel Long

    1. Dahil kaya sa side ni HO eh may rules sila na hindi kaya ni AF dahil sa pagiging carefree niya. But she's already an adult she should act like one

    1. I don't think it's fair to lay the blame entirely on HO. AF has been living independently for a long time now but because of her relationship with HO cannot be cut easily, there needs to be a mutual respect and understanding from both of them.

    2. Well, ganun talaga. If you live under the graces of your family, you abide by their rules. Ano sila, bank account/dorm? Sa pinas, that includes curfews, magulang being critical sa choice of friends or dates mo, ganun.

      Pero kung bumukod ka na at di na umaasa sa kanila, you leave and cleave. You make your own rules, pero have the courtesy to stay in touch with family.

  5. Lucky si AF kasi may one side kung saan light ang feeling niya. You cannot force anyone to have a light or heavy feeling. At the same time, can’t blame HO na she feels a bit betrayed dahil pakiramdam niya dapat mas close sa kanya si AF.

    Hay, family...people you did not choose but are permanently in your life!!!

  9. Sobrang tanda na niya para magkumpara ng pamilya at magfocus pa rin sa emotions niya. She has always been selfish and spoiled. If there is ever a mistake by her HO, it is by spoiling her.

  11. Ano b naman karapatan ng other side na pagsabihan sya eh ni wala nga yang contributuon sa kung ano sya ngayon. Halos lahat ng meron sya ngayon ay dahil kay AF at tama lang naman na pinagsasabihan sya dahil yun ang may tunay na pagmamalasakit.
