The Invisible Sacrifice
.png)
You took responsibility of his pain and gave him emotional support before you even understood what it meant.
You wiped every tear, calmed every anger and cheered him on in everything.
You worked harder while studying just so you could give him a little allowance, even if it meant starving yourself.
When he asked for help, you had to drop everything and come to him; otherwise he’d say you never cared at all.
But he’s not a bad person… right?
You constantly motivate him, reassure him, and filter what you say.
You gave away what little freedom you had left to help him, to guide him in anything and everything.
You stayed present through every single trauma of his, giving him the support he needed.
Still, he constantly undermined and invalidate your pain, because he was always the one who “suffered more.”
But he’s not a bad person… right?
You tried to open up, but he always laughed and teased you hurtfully, toxicly.
He called you mean names, weaponised your insecurities and never checked on your mental health.
He assumed you were always okay, so he comes to you for help, expecting that you will save him every single time, even when you were drowning.
He remained blind to the invisible effort you gave him for years, because emotional support doesn’t count as helping, only physical actions do.
But he’s not a bad person… right?
You never felt safe sharing your pain, because he would only victimize himself instead of showing compassion.
He screamed at you, threw his anger countless times, and never apologized.
One single mistake and he erased all your years of sacrifice.
But he’s not a bad person… right?
He never felt proud of you when your name appeared on television, instead he became envious.
He never celebrated your achievements, instead uses this opportunity to talk bad about you.
But he’s not a bad person… right?
He told himself he helped you more than you have ever helped him, not knowing you gave most of your time and emotional space to him, your whole life.
He still expected emotional help from you even when you lost your ablity to walk and you were drowning in your own pain.
But he’s not a bad person… right?
He said he saw his partner’s sacrifices and appreciated her but couldn’t appreciate his own blood.
He constantly hurts the people who loves and cares about him but you defend him everytime.
But he’s not a bad person… right?
He never showed gratitude, acknowledgement, or appreciation for what you’ve done. Instead, he said, “It is your responsibility and you are obligated to help me”.
But he’s not a bad person… right?
He's not, he's just... Him. Bounded by blood, imprisoning you because you care too damn much. Being there for him feels like you're watering a dead plant. You expect nothing in return but a mere thank you, I see your effort, I appreciate you but you never got it and you're starting to think... You will never receive recognition.
But he's not a bad person....right? He's just broken, so so broken.
