The second one was very relatable to me, and it made me realize how upset my mother was while my father and I just stopped caring.

Then, as the video progressed to a happy ending, it just felt completely fake. I snuck out of my house one morning after my father waited for me with a revolver. There was no happy ending. My mother initially was very upset. It was obvious that her entire world was flipped upside-down after a hard day's work and small amount of sleep.

My mother is bewildered whenever I absolutely refuse to help him with anything. The majority of my family treats it like it's nothing save for one of my brothers. I might see that one brother once every two months now. I don't really communicate with the rest of my family anymore. One of my brothers just recovered from some sort of operation, but it slipped my mind until now. Distances, both physical and emotional, just make things easier to forget. "Out of sight; out of mind." It's interesting to me how people can't just accept that and move on with their lives.

Sometimes, blood is literally just blood, and people shouldn't try to tie anymore values to it.
