Family At War

Introduction:

The separation and divorce of my parents has been tough on all of
us, the whole family.   Us kids, we all thought our parents were
happily married.   Wow, were we in for a shock.     It hurt us
all to see mom and dad go through with it.   It split the family
in two, almost like two different countries, countries that were
at war with each other.   Sure, life had been tough.  But what
the heck, as the old saying goes, "No body ever promised a rose
garden".   Still, when it happened to our parents we just about
could not believe it.

There are five of us kids.   I am the oldest "male child", as my
parents liked to call me.   I am 20 years old and "was" in
college.   I was in the middle of my second year of college, at
one of the state universities, nothing spectacular, just good
solid education.   I was doing pretty good too.   I had a high B
to A average in all my classes but with all the BS surrounding
the family I decided to leave school, go back home and help get
things sorted out.

Family Members:

Bill - My Dad - Age 48
Beverly (Bev) - My Mom - Age 48
Lisa - (My Aunt, Mom's Adopted Sister)
Brenda (Boo) - My Sister - Age 18
Amanda (Mandy) - My Sister - Age 16
Tim - My Brother - Age 14
Jack - My Brother - Age 12

Various others who enter into the story and play significant
parts in the development of the final outcome, including:

Renee - Friend of Mom & Lisa's from college days and current
co-worker
Jim - Renee's Son
Janet - Renee's Daughter

First Day Back

At home things were really depressing.   When I got there the
house was totally deserted, not a light on anywhere and no one
was home.   I was kind of surprised, it was late in the day,
almost dark outside, and I, at least, expected to find the other
kids there.   

When I got inside the whole place was in a shambles, almost
looked like the place had been torn apart by burglars or
something.   I walked through the house looking at the mess and
wondering what the heck had happened.   The only part of the
house that was not totally destroyed was my room, which I shared
with my two younger brothers, Tim and Jack, ages 14 and 12.   My
sisters, Brenda, who we called Boo, age 18 and Amanda, age 16,
shared a room too and it was totally empty, nothing, even the
furniture was gone.

I walked through the house looking at things wondering what the
heck had happened and saw in my mind that life as I used to know
it was over.   It almost made me cry to see the place in that
condition.   I think I was in a state of shock and aimlessly
wandered about the house looking at the devastation.   Eventually
I found myself back in the living room.   I could not stand to
look at all the stuff thrown around the room and absent mindedly
began to pick up things to put them away.

I turned on the TV, mostly just to break the eerie silence of the
deserted house and worked quickly at gathering up loose papers,
clothing and other stuff strewn about the room.   There was a lot
of clothing in piles and I began to sort them out.   Nearly all
the clothing was stuff that belonged to either my mother or
sisters.   It looked like they had just tossed them around the
room, almost as if they had just thrown them up in the air and
let them fall where they may.

I spent about an hour straightening the place.   I didn't know
what to do with the clothes, most of them were still on hangers
or partly folded, so I guessed they were clean enough to put
away, but there was no place to put them.   I finally decided the
best thing to do was just put them back into my sisters room on
the floor, since there was no furniture.

I was still working away when I heard someone at the door.   The
door was not locked, but who ever was there did not know it and
they put a key into the lock and began to fiddle around with it.

I walked over to the door and opened it.   It was my mother and
sisters, they must not of expected anyone to be there, even
though my old car was parked in the driveway, because they all
just froze in place and had really scared looks on their faces.

My mom was the first to speak and she said, "We just need to get
the rest of our stuff".   She said it in such a way that told me
that she was very intent on what she was doing.   I quickly
realized that should just back off and leave her alone.   She was
pissed off and I did not want her to take it out on me.

I just stood there looking at her, unable to move or talk because
of the way she was acting.   She looked at me for a second and
then just pushed right on in the house and walked into the living
room.   I looked at my sisters standing outside.   I started to
say something, I am sure I looked like a fish out of water, my
mouth working open and closed, but nothing coming out.

My sisters stood on the porch looking at me in total confusion.
They were as upset as I was, both had red eyes, they'd been
crying I could tell.

Finally Boo, said, "David, we need to talk, but not right now.  
Mom is really upset."

I said, "OK, but what the heck is happening?"

Just about that time, mom almost screamed at me, saying, "What
did you do with the rest of my stuff?"

I was surprised by her loud voice and almost jumped out of my
shirt.   I turned around real quick and looked at her and said,
"I picked them up and put them in the girls room".

She did not say a word just turned and walked away from me.

I turned back around and looked at the girls who were still
standing outside.   I said, "Is she OK?"

Boo said, "No . . . what do you think.   Dad threw us out
yesterday."

With those words, Boo pushed on by me too and followed mom toward
the back of the house.

That just left me and Amanda standing there, me in the living
room and her just outside the door.   I looked at her, I could
tell that she was really upset and was crying just a little, a
stray tear coursing its way down her cheek.   I felt so bad I did
not know what to do.

Finally, I said to Amanda, "Come on in.   Tell me what hell is
happening."

She almost ran into my arms, all I could do was hold on to her as
she sobbed against my chest.

I said, "Calm down Mandy and tell me what is happening."

She was still crying but she stepped back and began to rub her
eyes with the back of her hand.

I was kind of crying a little myself, but I was trying to be
strong and let her get control of herself.

She said, "Well, there is a lot that has happened since you went
off to college, things that  you don't know about.   I don't know
where to start."

I said, "What is going on now?"

She said, "Mom and Dad are fighting every time they get in the
same room.   HE . . . he . . . made us leave yesterday and now we
are back to get the rest of our stuff."

I said, "Why is mom so mad at me?"

She said, "Mom is mad at all of us, especially me and Boo."

"Why?", I asked.

She said, "Because of what happened, we had an accident."

I looked at her and she must have recognized that I did not
understand.

She said, "Boo and me . . . we . . . been sleeping together . . .
.

I said, "You having been sleeping in the same room since you were
kids, what is wrong with that?"

She did not say anything, look of consternation on her face, and
just looked at me like I was a dope.   I suddenly realized what
she was saying, or I thought I knew anyway and I said, "You mean
. . . like having . . . sex?"

She just nodded her head at me and said, "Dad found out about it
and he got really mad at us and then when he told mom, well they
had a huge fight about it."

I was shocked by what she was telling me, but it seemed that
since she had told me and now I knew about it that it was ok for
her to keep talking.

She said, "Dad found out because we forgot and left the tape in
the video camera."

I must have jumped and I said, "Oh shit."

I must have looked kind stunned because she just looked at me
like she expected me to get mad or something.   

But I didn't get mad I was just trying to understand what she was
saying.   Finally after a long pause, I said, "Mom knew about
it?"

She said, "Mom  . . . well . . . it was her idea . . . I mean,
Mom . . . she took the first video of me and Boo."

I was totally confused by what I had just heard and was shocked
too.   Stunned to the point that I could not speak.    Lucky for
me I did not have to speak, because Mom came hurrying back into
the room with her arms full of stuff, she said, "Well, get out of
the way so I can get by."

I  moved out of her way and went into the living room and sat on
the couch.

I did not notice for a few seconds that Amanda had followed along
behind me and was standing right in front of me, just looking at
me.

I said, "God, what a mess.   What the heck is mom planning to do?
 Where are you going"

Amanda said, "Well, we are staying at Lisa's.   We went over
there last night and then early today mom called and talked to
Dad about it and he said we could come back and get the rest of
our stuff."

I was in such a state that I did not even recognize what Mandy
was talking about.   My mind was totally blank for a second, then
I began to connect again and thought about what she had just
said.   I still was not really sure who they were staying with.
Lisa is a pretty common name and all  . . . maybe Mom's sister,
her name is Lisa, but it could be anyone, so I said, "Who is
Lisa?"

That consternation was back on Mandy's face again and she got a
really stressed out look in her eyes and said, "Mom's sister, you
know Aunt Lisa."   There was a very long pause as she tried to
collect her thoughts or formulate how to say the next words, in a
little squeaky voice she said, "Lisa is mom's lover too."

Man was I confused.   Mandy saw that I did not know what the heck
she was talking about and said, "David I am scared" and she
started to cry again.

I looked at her, I felt really sorry for her, but I was as scared
as she was.   

I said, "Mandy, I think we all need to talk about this, but I
don't have any idea as to what to do."

She looked at me, with a desperate look on her face, and said,
"Me neither, I am really, really scared and upset.   Maybe I
should just go help Boo and Mom."

I said, "OK, let me think for a minute . . . we can talk some
more later."

It was good that we decided that because just then Mom came back
in from outside, she looked at me and then at Mandy and said,
"Mandy, we need your help, now."

Mandy looked at me and said, "OK Mom."   The consternation was
gone from her face and she had a really sad look in her eyes as
she turned to follow mom to the back of the house.

I sat on the couch wondering what the heck I should do.   I tried
to think about what Mandy had just told me, but my mind would
just shut down when I did.   I finally thought that the best
thing to do was just go help them.

I walked toward the back of the house.   As I got close to where
they were, I heard them talking and stopped to listen.

Mom was telling the girls that they just needed to get their
stuff and get out of the house as soon as they could and to
hurry.

I walked on to the door of the room where they were all gathering
up stuff.   I stood there and watched them for a second.   They
were in Mom's bedroom and Boo was trying to disconnect the TV
set.   I watched them for a few seconds, I don't think they even
knew I was there.

I said, "Boo let me do that."

Mom whipped around real defensively, like she was mad at me and
started to say something.

I said, "Mom, I just want to help that is all.   Give me a chance
to help you."

She said, "David, I  . . . we . . . don't need another fight."

I said, "Mom, I don't know what the heck there is to fight about.
  I just want to help you and the girls and then we can figure
out what the heck all this means."

She looked at me really hard for a second and then she was crying
too.

I went across the room and hugged her.   She grabbed me and
sobbed into my chest and started trying to say something.

I said, "Mom, if you want to tell me something, it can wait, lets
just get your stuff collected and then we can talk later."

She managed to say, "David  . . . it has been so bad  . . . your
father has just gone completely crazy."

I said, "OK, OK, lets worry about dad later."

She said, "Ok  . . . but I want you to know that none of this is
my idea."

I said, "Alright, no problem with me.   Just tell me what you
need for me to do."

She said, "Well, right now we just need to get this stuff put in
the car."

She stepped away from me and I turned to look at Boo.   She was
setting on the floor and just watching me.   I walked over to her
and said, "What can I do?"

Boo said, "We are taking the TV, but I can not get it loose from
the cable wire."

I said, "Let me look" and she began to move out of the way.

As I leaned over the TV set Boo said, "David, I will call you
later tonight and we can talk, OK?"

I said, "OK, I will be here."

She thought about that for a second and said, "You probably
should not be here when Dad gets home, he is almost crazy about
things that have happened around here."

I looked at her and said, "OK, where should I go?"

She said, "Why don't I just meet you some place?"

I said, "Ok, but where?"

She said, "How about at the school parking lot, around 7:00
tonight."

I said, "Boo, it is already 7:00."

She just shook her head and said, "OK, how about 10:00 then?"

I said, "Fine, I'll be there."

It did not take them very much longer to get all the stuff they
wanted.   I helped load the heavy stuff, TV and a couple of boxes
into the car.   I was standing in the driveway watching them as
they got ready to leave.   It just all felt so weird, strange,
completely irrational, I was so confused I just stood like a
statue.   All I could see was my mother, my sisters, getting in a
car to leave, to forever be gone from the home where our family
spent so many wonderful years.

I was unable to control my emotions and started to cry again.  
Boo seeing me standing there in such terrible shape, hopped out
of the car and came over to me.   She said, "David, it is what
has to be, don't try to change it, don't try to make it seem
different than it is, just do what is best for YOU!"

I said, "But sis, you, mom, dad, the boys, Amanda, those are the
things that are best for me."

She hugged me and said, "We got to go."

As she got back in the car, Amanda rolled down the window and
said, "David, I love you!"

I rushed across the driveway and hugged her thorough the window.
 She whispered to me, "Look in your room I put something in there
for you."

I started to say something, but she got a kind of scared look on
her face, so I kept quite.

I stood in the driveway and waved to them as they drove away.

After the car was out of sight, I turned and walked back in the
house.   I had to take several deep breaths to calm myself down
and not feel so bad.   I was confident that what ever had
happened, that as a family we could solve it.   We had always
been able to before, so we could do it again.   I felt that we
were just going thorough one of those bad times that so many of
my friends had lived through and in my head I kept seeing us all
together again, lots of happy times ahead.

As I stepped into the house I remembered what Mandy had said,
that she had left something for me in my room.   I walked back to
see what it was.
