I just don’t know when this is ever going to end. I don’t want to escape from it. Am I wrong to criticise her? Am I wrong in saying that she is obsessed with housework? Why is it that I can’t seem to understand why she likes to do housework so much? Can anyone tell me who on earth will come home from home and not even bother about the family members and bother more about cleaning up the silly house that is a lifeless and emotionless object? Am I the cause of her eccentricism? Am I the cause of her behaviour? Did she turn to housework to run away from the stresses of her life? How can I even help her? Can anyone tell me? How could any mother not wish for her child to be at home? How can any mother on earth not hope that her child comes home from school early and spends time a home? Or perhaps, I may be over idealizing my life. Maybe, there are many other mothers out there who do not treasure the presence of their children anymore. Career and whatever is there no. 1.

Or is it that she is old now. That she just wants a break from her nurturing role? Or she trusts me to take care of myself? To know everything that I need to know? I can’t help but just feel vulnerable without anyone at home giving me words of encouragement or advice. Father! Help me. Help me. I need my mother back.
