Catatonic Convenience

Seriously, I really hate hearing my parents converse with one another let alone hearing the grounds of arguments. Even the white noise it creates disturbs me to no end. Knowing that the reluctant atmosphere creates an electric tension in the air that could cause conflict at any moment.

Trust me, this I know from years of hearing it whether it be waking up to the sounds It is definitely not pleasant to the ear. Sometimes I wish they would seriously just separate from one another. Leave each other and be done with it. I feel like it would just be that much easier and make everyone happier. (or at least help lower high blood pressure)

I know that is a terrible thing to confess, but it's true. My dad would have the freedom to do whatever he pleases in China guilt-free, while my mother could continue what she does here burden-free. But there are so many fucked up underlying factors that even the simplest solutions would create even greater problems. But of course, what else would they do at this day and age? These problems that already co-exist in this obligatory and familial domain we can't help but inhabit. But indeed one can always dream.
