i don't understand why my parents have never bothered to tell me immediately of something bad that has happened. i seriously would have prefered to learn the bad news from them and have them answer all the questions that i might have. i can't tell people how upset i am right now, i just learned that my brother is in the hospital for dengue fever. he's been there for four days, and he's been sick for a week, and no one bothered to tell me at all. if i hadn't talk to my sister today, i still wouldn't find out about it. this is not the only time this has happened, it's been like this for as long as i can remember. even when i was in high school, no one said anything when my mom gave birth, my brother was in an accident, my other brother broke his collarbone, the other one had an operation. i mean, am i not part of the family? don't i deserve to know everything that happens? would they actually wait till someone dies before they would tell me? or would they forget about me even then? i'm just really upset right now, i don't know what to do.
