Care and suffocation
Care and suffocation
by Ankita Majumder (Sem II, 2024)
Sometimes this caring for someone can feel like suffocation.
Sometimes this care, this strictness, this protective nature can feel like a
rope around your neck.
And it feels more like one so, when it comes from a
manipulative, narcissistic person.
This person would randomly start to argue about something,
completely illogical and will then act to his family members that he didn’t
just spoke words of vulgarity to them.
This person would never admit his mistakes, and will give
the blame on someone else’s shoulders.
This person would forget to bring back something which his
family told him to and then will yell that his family members are a bunch of
liers and that they didn’t informed him about the thing from before. He would
completely give his blame to his family.
He would always get and have the bigger portion of food but
then after every month’s grocery shopping will tell, oh no sorry, order his
family members to lessen the amount of food they are eating as the price of
things are getting expensive.
Sometimes, to lessen his pain, if any of his family members
tells him that they will bring the thing from shop, at that moment he will
dismiss them and will bring the things himself. But later on he would blame
them about why they didn’t went to get the thing themselves, knowing how
painful it’s becoming for him due to his old age now.
He would always show the world how loving, caring and gentle
he is to his wife and daughter but in behind the closed doors, in between the
four walls of the house, he would treat his wife and daughter lesser than
humans, through mental torture.
His family’s financial condition isn’t good. He would always
blame this on his daughter’s expenses of wifi and internet that is required for
her study. He would always take money from his unemployed wife and then would
not give her the money back. He would then have the audacity to talk to her
like he is speaking to, not his wife, but a servant of their house.
Whenever he would get money from his work, he would act like
he is the king of the universe and would yell at his wife or daughter regarding
one thing or another. And when he wouldn’t have anything, a single penny left,
he would shamelessly ask the very same wife for money whom he yelled at a
moment ago.
Maybe it was their fate – of the wife and daughter – to come
into the world of such a man.
Maybe it was their past life’s sins punishment they were
receiving in this lifetime.
Maybe it was the man’s parents and sibling’s fault that they
made such a man married to a female and then gave birth to a daughter.
Or who knows what it is?
But one thing is sure, if this is what this man calls care
and love towards his family then it’s nothing but suffocation. Nothing but a
rope around a neck, tight enough to block your air passage but not enough to
ultimately take your life.
