STAND ALONE NARRATIVE....
FAMILY DRAMA

I come from a large family and I am the middle child.

We lost our mum very early.

I am known as the one with a good heart right from childhood (even mocked for it), I used to love my siblings so much that I wouldn’t mind taking a bullet for them if the need arises but series of events has proven that the love is one sided, everyone only protects their interest.

To say a very few things I have done for these people...

Whenever my elder female siblings give birth, I am always the one to stay with them in the hospital till they are discharged.

If they need someone to babysit their children, even if I am out of town, I transport myself back,  just to babysit the kids (sometimes for days or even months) they would still gather and say I babysit the children because of the peanut their husband gives to me for transport when going back....the largest sum I have ever received when I visit is 5,000 naira.

Let me not go into details about how I slaved for my younger ones when our mom died just to make sure they did not feel her absence...I was 13  and in Senior Secondary one.

My father was sick at the time and no extended relative wanted to stay with us, I took care of my sick father and my younger ones.

My seniors gained admission into the tertiary institution and left us to our fate.

Thank God I graduated high school and aced my WAEC.

Now to the gist, all I get from these people is pain starting from my father. It took years to forgive him for all he put me through, he cut me off during my 3rd year in the university with reasons that I should come home and care for my younger ones, he even made my uncles not to help me out with funds, I had to struggle my way through school all by myself.

My elder ones especially the girls have made it their life duty to cause me pain. Whenever they gather, and they have not gossiped about me then their gathering is not complete...lol. And these are people that never taught me a single thing about adulthood, I had to learn from my peers and some of their kind friends.

Something happened recently......

My kid brother who was living with one of my big sisters ran away from home. 

I was really close to that sister of mine, so she always updated me, I kept reassuring her she shouldn’t worry so much about him leaving home that all will be well.

We were all worried, my sister was making plans to go report to the police that he was missing and I supported the idea.

Some hours after my sister told me about her plans to report to the police, my missing brother called my phone, I was so excited that he was fine, I asked him to call my sister and her family which he said he would.

Out of excitement, I called my sister and told her of the latest development and she was also grateful to God that he is fine.

Some hours later, she would call me and start accusing me of giving my brother information, she said and I quote “how come it’s immediately I started making plans to report to the police he called you”, I was stunned , I hung up on her, she called back and was raining fire and brimstone, she said I have a hand in his running away.

I thought the drama ended there, she called all our family members and told them I was the one encouraging him and other stuffs.

I went through hell that period.

I made a resolve to cut them all off, I am still the go to person for my younger ones though......

I just want to know if I am over reacting.

*See drama!!!

Hmmmm family is everything but your older ones are toxic and when i say toxic, I mean real ish toxic.

Since you cut them off, are you missing anything? When you say cut them off, how did you cut them off? completely or partially? Cos your younger ones will still be updating them of your activities...

Just stay away from drama with them.

Older siblings that do nothing to help, advice or support their younger ones should be ashamed of themselves.....
