🤷 Solo Mum Part Four:
I and my children have been staring at each other for over five minutes. I called for a meeting and I found myself at loss.
It wasn’t that I didn’t know what to say but I had so much to say and I didn’t know how to start. The thought that I didn’t know how to start a conversation with my children was alarming. I spoke at conferences and board meetings but I couldn’t talked to seventeen year olds.
“Are we here to stare at each other” Kevin broke the silence. I blessed him for that.
“Because I want us to talk, to communicate” Fun said I should speak in a calm voice. I hoped my voice was calm enough.
“Then why are you looking at us as if you want to murder us” Katlyn said.
“I cannot murder my children. I…. I love you all” I struggled to say. They all hissed and sank back into their seats. I continued.
“I want know your problems and why you all decide to behave this way. No mother would be happy if her children behaved the way you guys do. It’s not fair to me after all I given you-”
“—it always comes down to this. You think you’ve given us everything but what have you really given us?” Kevin asked.
” What have you really given to me? What have any of you given to me. You don’t respect me, you don’t obey me. You haven’t given me anything in return” I shout at them.
“I just knew this meeting wouldn’t work out. Just another shouting episode” Karen mumbled but I ignored her.
I took a deep breath to assemble all my thoughts and feelings in one place.
“I want you all to change. This isn’t the best life at all. You are only destroying yourselves”
“If you want us to change, then you have to change” Katlyn said, her voice was calm but for some reason it agitated me.
“What I’m I changing for?” My voice was defensive, that was not how I wanted to sound but that was how I felt.
“Come home more, call us more, treat us like we are your children and not some employee at your company” Kevin listed out.
“I’ll try to do all that”
“You’ll try?” Katlyn cried.
“What would you have me do” I said matching the frustration on her face.
“I’m done with this meeting. It’s obvious you don’t want to change” Karen stood.
“Hey sit down I’m not yet done” I tolf her…no I commanded her. She didn’t sit but at least she didn’t walk away.
“Dad is better than you in many ways” Katlyn whispered but I heard.
It felt like an insult, because it was an insult, a huge one.
“How is Christopher better than me. Can he give you this life you are living” All what I do for this children and this is how they repay me.
“For starters Dad doesn’t always think about money like the way you do”
“That is why he is poor, that is why he couldn’t provide for us. He is a drunk and abuser” I shout. Tears were clouding my sight but I wouldn’t dare let them escape.
“Dad is a drunk because you made him that way. You were always nagging about how little he brought and not even acknowledging his efforts and stop saying he is an abuser. He only hit you one time because you slapped him. You initiated the fight and turned yourself into the victim. He is so much more better without you around.” Kevin said in one angry breath.
“He is a bad influence. He encouraged Kaylyn to drink like himself what kind of father does that”
My voice was shaky and not like myself. I didn’t like it. I didn’t like how weak my voice sounded or the accusations leveled against me.
“He wasn’t encouraging me to drink, he was helping me to stop taking drugs” Katlyn confessed.
I don’t know what hit me, but it was mighty and heavy. She was taking drugs?
“And when you saw me vomiting it was because I hadn’t taken drugs for a week and I might now because you gave the only person that could help me a restriction order. Dad was helping me and all you do is ruin things and take us to scam prophets” Katlyn cried, she wasn’t ashamed to let her tears flow and just like that she was storming the stairs to her room.
“If it will interest you. Yahoo and programming are different things and if it will interest you more, Dad scrapped up his savings for that class you disrupted.” Kevin said and left.
Karen who had nothing to say and had been itching to leave since the meeting started, she left mumbling something incoherent under her breath.
