Is This Really Called A Family

All my life my parents have been lets just say "Playacting." They pretend like everything's okay when it really isn't and we always have to pretend like we are one big perfect happy family.

But that's just it. We are not. We all practically hate each other.

I don't know how we are still even a family. I bet if my sister,me,and my brother weren't born, my parents would be divorced by now.

That's why i think my sister, me and my brother are such disappointments to my parents. I bet they wish they could get divorced but because of us kids,or shall I say teenagers,they are still together to "try" and make things better between all of us.

But i know that that's never going to happen in a million years. I feel as if my parents think they HAVE to stay together in order for us to be happy. But to tell you the truth, I'm not happy, my sister ain't happy, and my brother... well he doesn't really know because he's a bit younger than my sister and I. But he knows that my parents don't like each other.

They fight constantly and we are all tired of it even my grandma. But i know if my parents get divorced later in life we have to choose who we(us kids)have to live with.

By that time my sister will probably be out of the house and be on her own and then me and my little brother are gonna be the ones who are gonna have to suffer and go through what some families go through all over the country.

I wish sometimes that my parents would open their eyes and realize that this ain't a fairytale. This is the "REAL WORLD" and we can't be ONE BIG PERFECT HAPPY FAMILY because the truth is we are not and all their doing is hiding the truth from what it really is.

So if you are reading this and your family is the same way, it's helpful if you discuss this with a best friend or close teacher or anybody that just offers to listen to what you have to say.

AND REMEMBER NO ONES LIFE IS PERFECT SO IF IF YOU GO THROUGH STUFF LIKE THIS OR ANY OTHER STUFF, YOU ARe NOT ALONE. I'M GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING.

I WISH YOU THE BEST IN YOUR LIFE.
