Storytelling pt. 3: Home.
11:49:00 PMNow, for the issue I told you in the post before storytelling. Let this be the part where I reflect and not only share with you but, also share as a lesson for myself.
In the present, my family is wonderful. My mom and dad getting
along well, my sister starting to be productive, they get along
beautifully. The problem is me. I have this bipolar and alter ego
situation that disturbs when I'm with my family. Well right now it's not
that ugly and I progressed. But you know, I used to become easily
irritated, depressed without reason, and go off on an emotional rampage,
react with anger easily, don't like spending time at home so I had this
one thousand business outside (which is positive at some sides), and
other bad things that never happened outside the circle. I even show my
dislike towards the question "pulang jam berapa nanti?" or just a simple
"hari ini kamu mau kemana aja?". My family knows me as a whole
different person than how my friends do. They think I'm an intelligent
arrogant emotional matter. I see myself as this full of energy,
productive, achieving, and positive guy outside home. But inside home, I
only find myself as a conceited guy with anger issues.
I
managed to change a lot for the past one year, but it still happens out
of control sometimes. Every time my depressed mode is active, I can't
handle questions like "Kamu kenapa ren?" and other questions regarding
my bad vibe.
Just last night when I went on a family
time, it got out of control and got the vibe worse. When it's cooling
down, I decided to tell my mother about my psychological issue. I told
her that I'm sorry for that disorder. When my mom told me to get over
it, I lashed out again. I told her it's not that easy, that it's
automatic. She told me that not everyone would try understand me with
that. I la told her that the problem was that the trigger's only inside
the family. Outside, it doesn't happen. I noticed that she was a little
shocked and speechless, which made me sad and regretted that I said
that. She must be so disappointed and felt that I was blaming my whole
family. She asked me, "Trus kita harus gimana lagi, Ren? Kita lo sudah
sampe nunduk-nunduk ke kamu.. Papamu juga sudah sampe ati-ati ngomong
mbe kamu". I only told her that I am trying to fix this.
Somehow
in the quarrels with my mom, I found myself unconsciously and
repeatedly yelling that I survived on my own back then. (I finally told
them the bullying story some months ago). It's like I wanted them to
know out loud that I survived without them, and they weren't there at
all. Then I thought, maybe it was the reason of the trigger. Maybe I
feel that they don't understand me. That they don't even know how I
suffered and struggled.They didn't even say sorry.
Therefore,
I tried to tell my mom how I felt. She told me to move on. That's it's
just a past and no need to pry about it. I lashed out again, saying that
the past still affects me now and I don't know what to do with the
scar. Then the quarrel ended.
When we got home, I
suddenly wanna apologize to my mom and hug her, especially because I'm
blaming them. I realized that it was so childish of me, all these
personality issues. Then I said sorry and hugged her before going
upstairs to bed. She told me something that really makes me embarrassed
of myself. "Cobaen liat yang lebih soro Ren, mama dulu lebih soro,
dihajar sama mama e mama, malu ke sekolah merah-merah. Kamu sekarang
lebih enak, dikasih uang, bawa mobil sendiri, mau kemana ae isa". That
moment, I was so embarrassed of me blaming them. My mom suffered from a
harsh education method of her mom, and also a worse problem with her
dad. Compared to her, my problem was nothing. My condition in the
present, compared to her condition at the same age, was heaven and hell.
Maybe my parents don't do appreciation towards my achievement much
compared to the world outside the circle (another thing I unconsciously
and repeatedly yelled about in quarrels with them), but in this age, I
realize that they are ones who would still be with me if I don't have
dance, organization skill, and achievements themselves.
Now I understand that there is nothing to be angry about anymore.
It's over. Everything's fine right now.
I should have nothing against my mom, my dad, my sister.
I should only make them happy. Happy and proud.
Somehow I believe that if I can finally overcome this issue, get this scar mended, I will achieve bigger things, way above my present capacity. :)
