The light at the end of the tunnel..
was actually a train coming full speed at me. My sister’s wedding was canceled. A few hours before the actual wedding, we got an email from an anonymous source that the groom was already married. This started a 4 hour long intense investigation and assimilation of resources. At the end of it we found out that the groom was having a 2 year long secret homosexual affair with someone he had met online. Needless to say, my sister called the wedding off. This while is a good thing of sorts, has been quite a blow to my family. Everyone is shattered in multiple ways, and no one quite knows how to handle all this. On one side there are relatives how are being nosey or being overly supportive, on the other long subdued issues within my own family are starting to come out under the new strain. Kinda like how an earthquake provides a vent for all the stress accumulated over the years.
I am trying to pacify all of this to the best of my ability. Sometimes this is more than what I can handle. It is quite an irony that I am the strongest standing pillar of support for my family. Can there be much hope for anything that seeks to sustain and rescue itself with the help of something as feeble as me? Only time will tell. For now, all I am hoping is to bring some kind of closure to this episode, pave way for recovery, and leave my family with some hope.
