The tea party where no one drank tea (Part three)

I already knew certain things about my family but there were various other things that I didn't know. And today all those things just became clearer.

Sigh.

Why did my existence have to be so complicated? 

"So, basically, if I wasn't born, you guys wouldn't have had to separate?" And a lot of people wouldn't have had to die including gramps.

Both mom and father looked at me with very surprised eyes. I guess they never expected a question like that.
