Family Ties
how strong do they bind? the drama between my grandparents v.s. my uncle's wife (so much easier to say 'auntie' but i refuse to call her that - she shall be B for the purposes of this entry, just to make things easier. B for Bitch.) has escalated to a whole new level.
they flew from melbourne to singas yesterday. when they got home (home being, my uncle's dodgy apartment) they found their things in the living room. before they left, they had a room. when they arrived, they found childrens playthings in their room, and all their belongings kept away. obviously the kind of message B was sending was that she doesn't want them there.
ever since we've moved here, B's been getting on our nerves for her cold silent treatment to my grandparents and her refusal to acknowledge them. what's more is that the grandparents don't really care for B, but they're hurt by the fact that my uncle isn't stepping in to do anything. her hostility is quite apparent in the way she looks at them, says less than a couple of sentences in a week, never asks about their wellbeing, doesn't look after them or even hold them in any regard at all. i swear, you would treat even a housemate with more courtesy than that.
(uncle claims to not know about most of the saga since he lives in china on a relatively permenant basis. but on account of mom having just called him at our insistence, we'll see what he does.)
so now he's caught between wife and parents. personally it doesn't seem too hard to see which direction he should be leaning closer to. clearly, one is wrong and the other isn't. i was eavesdropping on the conversation between my mum and my uncle and really, he is either blind or plain selfish. he kept on lamenting about how hard this was for him blahblahblah, and how his wife felt that my grandparents weren't doting on his kids enough.
*snort* want to know why? his beloved wife taught her kids, to tell my grandparents to go away and never come back cos they're not welcome. as if love brats like that.
honestly. what a rotten personality. and i haven't worked out where my uncle stands yet.
but it looks like my grandparents are moving out.
