yesterday was an extremely long day..i finally made my way down to the amk family service centre at senkang for my social service visit..hmm..was an eye-opening experience for me..as i am aware tt i lead an extremely sheltered life..i sometimes forget that "real" problems do exist.like conflicts within the family that gets out of hand and therefore requires tt family to seek help from the outside...i sincerely feel that there is nothing wrong with seeking help from outside the family wen the situation calls for it..as in when there is no way out..in fact i think it is the best solution to seek professional help..i guess living in a conservative society..there's always this need to keep family problems within the family itself and not to reveal it to stranggers...
i guess this applies to my family as well..my mom listens on to her friend's family woes but she never ever ever told anyone about our family woes..she lives by the rule that says "you can listen to others but never tell others about your problems. especially family problems." in fact she believes that even personal problems should be kept to oneself and if there is really a need to talk to someone..u should only talk to someone in the family ie. her.... her ratonale for all tis is tt family is forever but friends come and go and you might never noe when they will use the information against you..i guess it's kinda sad wen my mom says smtg like tt..yes i do realise that it's a dog eat dog world out there..but i guess i can't keep problems to myself... and as much as i love my mom and tell her about a lot of things happening in my life..there are some information..tt i just simply cannot tell my mom bcos i do not think tt she'll understand or even try to understand. i guess i am willing to take the risk of myself being turned back on bcos i just need somebody to talk to once in a while..yet when i look at those i expose my deepest darkest secrets to...i realise that they are as good as family..and maybe at the end of the day i am following wat my mum told me about only trusting family
