i was reading a friend's blog, and it dawned onto me that my own boyfriend is being treated the same way as her boyfriend - some way or another.
the word here is empathy.



things havent gotten any better now that he has met his mum after ten long years.
now that he's living with his dad and uncle,
being treated like a maid doesnt seem like a cool idea to most 19-year olds,
what's more, him.
laundry waiting to be done,
dishes waiting to be washed.
when there's nothing to be cooked in the kitchen, not a single dinner will be served.
imagine his agony of eating butter biscuits everytime he's famished, or even chicken flavoured twisties just to fill the hunger.

no eh, this is not some charity show case study or whatsoever.

he has a father who spends everything on his spoilt 9-year old stepsister, and most of the nights drinking his ass off at orchard towers.
and almost all of the time, discriminating my boyfriend on his mistakes and faults.

but unknowingly, that father isnt such a role model afterall.

that, coming from an outsider, me, is certainly rare.
yes, nobody's perfect.
but whats wrong in showering love and concern over your teenage son?

when my boyfriend goes out with his friends at the very minimal frequency of only twice per week,
his phone never stops ringing, coming from the father who demands the son to come back early, just to prepare dinner for the WHOLE family.

whole family = uncle, aunt, three kids, father, spoilt brat.

what can we, as girlfriends, do?
sit down, pray, and wish for something to happen.

i miss him, a lot.
