"Ohana means family-
And family means no one gets left behind."
-Lilo & Stitch
My sisters and I are going to get the word Ohana tattooed on us. Its kind of an inside joke.
So alright, here is my attempt at what people call a 'normal' journal entry.
This weekend was Easter and we had a bunch of family here. I was depressed most of the time, but my cousins cheered me up and we all went out and sang kareoke and met cowboys and acted dumb. Cause of course, the family that acts dumb together, stays together.
At one point one of my cousins showed up, saturday night i think......it was quite a surprise. I was in the office on the phone for a while, expecting she would be around for a couple hours. I had gotten off the phone and gone inside and i totally walked in at the wrong time. See, my cousin (Britney) was brought here by her boyfriend, who is a total asshole to her. My sister and I have been talking for a while now about tryin to get her out of this really bad controling relationship. Its REALLY bad. Shes about to turn 18 and wants to move out with this guy. He doesnt allow her to have any friends, see her family, and not to mention, was in jail for attempted murder. ok, back to saturday night.
When i had come in, everyone was sitting at the kitchen table and looked like they had been playing a dice game. it was about 8 people. But i noticed quickly that it was really awkward. Then, my cousins boyfriend was like "ok, um well.....we're leaving, bye" (or something like that)
and after they walked out...i was like what the fuck just happened,because i had been out of the house. Well, one of my cousins was in tears( shes the sister of Britney), and my sister looked like she was crying too. So i asked my sister what happened, and evidentely, he was being an ass to Britney.......it was over something really dumb. But he was talking shit to her. I cant remember what my sister said exactly....but yah.......i think her boyfriend said something like "lets go britney" so they left. Well, i was way pissed and my adrynaline was flowing mainly at her boyfriend, but also because, an oppertunity to say something to this fucker and NO ONE did. My sister has been talking about how shes wanted to say something. Well, the boyfriend comes back in....he forgot something.
So
I got up and was like " I dont fucking appreciate you talking to my cousin that way" and he said somnething like "whatever, ok. that nice"
and he walked out and i followed him and said"you know what, youre a fucking asshole" he didnt say anything and got in the car. I went back in and sat down and man, i was ready to kick some ass. Everyone was all relieved that i said something, but scared because no one knows what this guy is capable of. And my sister was upset because she knows that the minute they got in the car, that Britney was going to get bitched out for it. I guess i should throw in that, from what we all know, he hasnt been physical with her. Whether or not it has happened and shes hiding it, those type of guys always end up being a batterer. We all just hope we can get her to see and get her out of this situation, soon. We've all agreed that we would much rather her hate us all forever for getting involved, than having to get the call that he fucking beat her to death. That incident sucked, a lot.
I refuse to be the family member that says one of two things, "oh , i never knew she was in a bad situation." and two, "i just didnt want to get involved"
My family is very close, and we are not going to lose another relative....we all just buried one in december from the fire.
Besides that, i had a pretty good weekend. My grandma made yams with pastel green and pink marshmellows.
