Family Matters

My uncle tried to kill himself because of what my Dad said. During grandma’s burial meeting, an argument broke out, and my dad revealed that grandma was raped by military men years ago, and one of them is my uncle’s real father. At first we thought he was joking, but he wasn’t. My uncle has been the one who practically raised us and even built the house we live in. My dad has destroyed our family. My favorite uncle almost died from the pain. His wife came to our house that if anything happens to her husband my father should prepare for war. Our aunties have cut my father off, my cousins won’t speak to us, and the whole family is broken. I feel guilty and helpless. As the eldest grandchild, I don’t know how to fix this. I’m just sad.
