[horribly failed anon;]

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

I have a question, community, if you will:

Say that one knows that the circumstances surrounding oneself may become a burden upon those one loves. While family support is unquestionable, there are other situations that, if combined with your own circumstances, may prove an unbearable strain. Neither are removable, yet, will cause an unknowing amount of strain on all those involved. What does one do?

((Polite speak translation: The community is chaos and a member of my family is a chaos magnet. The household will be destroyed by chaos if something isn't done. Solutions? All comments are half anon, half failed anon :3.))

[Fortunately for you, he speaks that dialect of Formal and Polite known as Anchor-speak.]

From the sound of things, looks like you need yourselves some stress sinks. You and the people you're taking care of both.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Stress... sinks? I beg your pardon, but I am afraid I do not understand.

[bittervictor.livejournal.com]

Something, or someone, you can take it out on without needing to worry about them. Something you can dump the stress on.

It sounds like you're a stress sink for other people the way you put it. Which is an honorable and necessary thing, but not for everyone and hard on everyone that tries.

Ah- you are speaking of a means to relax. I have, indeed, done my best to help my family in this way. It troubles me that I may not be able to do so as well in the future. Preforming my duties has helped me in this regard in the past, but recently... this has not been the case.

Then you need stress sinks of your own outside your home, it sounds like. And so do they.

Personally, I never take my Anchor for granted. I'm not saying they do, but they might not understand how much strain they're putting on you.

I am glad you have someone to help you through troubled times, sir. I am... sorry to say that have only my family for this. I would not know who to approach for such things. As for my family, I do not know if it is possible for them to find confidants on the outside I know that Akane my sister has her friends, and Ranma-kun has his little friends... I will certainly ask them about it, however; thank you for the suggestion.

Generally, worrying about becoming a burden to others leads to letting a problem worsen until it really is something too hard to handle. Best to talk with everybody involved and plan for what you can.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Ah. I understand that worrying over that which you cannot control does not help to solve a problem. However, the situation is such that the our only foresight is the unpredictability of events. I... we would not know what to plan for, exactly.

I simply feel that if something were to happen here the same time as something at home, the results would be-- much too much.

[sotobas-lot.livejournal.com]

Ah, it's related to this, is it? That is one thing everyone repeats about this place, that it's both unpredictable and unstoppable...

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

I do not know if one is able to avoid the happenings here, however the 'viruses' seem to turn up at random. I would not wish to have my family undergo them as I have, or be burdened by the effects of them.

[sotobas-lot.livejournal.com]

Are others in your family connected to this place? If they are, you at least have the benefit of their understanding...

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Not that I am aware. They have seen the results of viruses but do not know the cause; I am uncertain how to explain this place.

[sotobas-lot.livejournal.com]

Well, I can sympathize with that much. Unfortunately, nobody else on here has any solutions, so it seems. Another here has said that he's discussed it with his family and that they're quite understanding. I wouldn't believe it if I were told as much, but if your family has seen the results already, that should help your case.

And what's the other problem? It sounds like you have two sources of unstoppable chaos.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

It's best to talk with them. Family would want to help, not just be willing to.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

I do not believe it would simply be a motive of obligation. Father, at the least, would truly wish to help... but I do not know what they might do. This place, it cannot be blocked, and the other trouble is just as unavoidable.

I suppose I could speak with them, and make certain that they understand what is going on.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

This place is the problem?

It would be better if they were prepared. It could help some of your worry, too.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

The community has caused a difficulty, yes, and I am afraid that it might bring more in the future. I think... that talking of it might help, for their benefit as well as mine. It would be best that they understand the, situation.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

I think so too. Good luck.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yes. And thank you, for the help.

[chaos-godess.livejournal.com]

You can't fix everything, dear. it's better not to try to do it at all sometimes.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Eris-san- Ah. I understand that everything cannot be a certain way. I just, would like things to be a bit... less, I suppose. This place is very nice; I simply worry for what might happen to my family if the viruses continue to be so- frequent.

[chaos-godess.livejournal.com]

You family can take care of themselves, they are worse than the virus. I know. I've been watching. [That is not creepy at all; Eris, not at all.]

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

I was not aware you had visited [because how else would she be watching?]; I hope you found everything well. I, suppose that they are able; Akane-chan helped cook dinner today. Ranma-kun is very helpful with chores, did you know?

I beg your pardon, however, I do not understand: 'worse than a virus'...?

[chaos-godess.livejournal.com]

Oh you was out of the house. Shipping I think. Akane managed not to poison the food?

They are pretty chaotic.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Ah. You must have come in the afternoon; I am sorry to have missed you. Akane-chan has been practicing very hard these last few years. She does not mix up the sugar and the salt any longer. I am quite proud of her progress.

...They certainly are very lively. I never quite know when one of Ranma-kun's friends will come to visit, so it does keep me on my toes. Is that what you mean?
