My father refuses to see the liar that is Kring. And I'm not even going to get into the way my mother deals with it because that's an entirely different horror all together. But my father spends a lot of time with Kring. He listens to everything she says. He is convinced that Kring is the one who got hurt in spite of the fact that I was the one bleeding after the horrors that Kring created. I tried to tell him that Kring is the epitome of deceit. But he won't have any of it. He is blaming my mother.

The more I dig into things, the deeper it goes. Kring is part of the ruined marriage. She says things to make my father hate my mother even more. She invents stories. She lies about being forced by mother to do things she didn't want when it was really, all Kring's idea in the first place.

I want to believe so desperately that this father who remembers I shook my head at the table with a pigeon's head in my mouth (after we ate the bird) loves me enough to at least look into the truth of all things. I want to believe something is keeping him from wanting to seek the truth. I want to believe that he is still the parent that I looked up to as a kid.

But the reality is he only gives me things when he feels guilty about giving Kring something big. The reality is, no matter what happens, even when the evidence is presented to him, he will take any lie Kring has to offer. And that lying Kring will always seek to destroy their marriage, and our relationship so she can get her selfish wants.

Since my father will never listen to me, I'll vent about some of the Kring lies.
1. Kring never lost her wallet in highschool. Neneng found the said missing wallet in her bedroom days after my father gave her money to replace that which she lost.
2. Kring didn't keep that cellphone for Cheese. She bought it as a gift for Cheese. The receipt was in Kring's name.
3. Kring wasn't forced by my mother to go to UST. Kring wasn't forced to not go to La Salle either. Kring insisted on going to UST for college.
4. I never ordered Kring to do anything while I was away.
5. Kring is not working for PBB under PSID. PSID has a deal with PBB to let their undergraduate designers work on their set. PBB has a long working relationship with PSID and they are not likely to pay a certificate holder (not degree) to design their set when they can get free service from the school.
6. Kring gave my mother money for medical check-ups but my dad doesn't believe it.
7. Kring told a lot of our diving friends that I abuse her. I have never abused her in any way.

Who knows what other things she lies about? There seems to be nothing honest about this girl. And she talks about projects but she's never showed any drawings or concepts. And there is a law in the Philippines prohibiting non-licensed interior design certificate holders, from practicing. She's not allowed to practice interior design because she has not taken the licensure exams. And she can't take the licensure exams because she does not have an Interior Design degree.

I hate that my father refuses to see the inconsistencies in her stories. I hate that he keeps giving her so much when all she's done is further the destruction of their marriage, and of our (Adel, Adrian and I) relationship with him.

I try so hard to show my father that there is more to life than this. If I had the money I would take him to the nice places I've been to so he can enjoy the money he worked for the same way I did. If I had my father's money, I would bring him to the nice restaurants I've been to so he can enjoy the same good food I had. If I had a car I would pick him up and drive him to places he hasn't been to, take him to the movies so he doesn't have to go alone, or have a beer or two with him.

In the back of my head, I just know. Even if I did, he wouldn't come with me. It's not me really. I'm not really so terrible to be with. It's just that he only really wants to do things with Kring. And Kring is the evil weaving lies and severing ties. I can't believe Kring used to be that little girl who followed me around the house (they all did..I'm the eldest.). I can't believe I was in so much pressure to be good at everything just so I can set a good example to Kring who has become an evil I cannot even fathom. And Kring said it was because she was envious and jealous of me.

Because she was envious and jealous of me, does this make me the root of all evil?

I want to cut out Kring's tongue to stop the lies. On the other hand, I'm wondering what I was meant to do about this whole thing. Am I supposed to sort things out and expose all truth?
