On Saturday March 20, 2021, my hands became sensitive to the bowl of leftover rice from the previous night. When it happened, my sister started harassing me that I couldn't cook. I took the offense very seriously as I have cooked before during the college times. However, the work, the stress, and the amount of time I have to do prevented me from doing it because of the fact I focused more on my mental health and planning on my future.
My mother then snapped following a verbal argument. While my mother was scolding me for getting into an argument with my sister, she started smiling thinking that this was a funny argument between my mother and myself, which I thought was very odd. I tried to tell about the incident, but because my mom was agitated, I wasn't too sure if she was aware about the situation. However, because she was sticking up for her she didn't want to get the problem solved, assuming that my sister was not to be responsible for the situation. My sister is going to college and as a concerned adult, I am concerned how she would react in college due to her depression and social problems in school (she is just an introvert). I know she is a teenager, but is she is not disciplined and doesn't take the incident along with the life lessons learned from it seriously, I am worried she will get in trouble with the potential college she will be going to.
The next day, my mom came home from work, apparently she was fed up dealing with behavior problems as known on my end when I was trying to have a serious talk with her. She said I need to plan on my future, but as a family we need to make sure we stay together peacefully and solve problems that may arise on any of our ends.
I decided to get in touch with her guidance counselor ASAP. One lesson to learn, when there is a problem, deal with it and resolve it before it gets worse. If you walk away from the problem, it will only get worse.
