I think the family decided to lie to the older brother only and asked the vice president to keep the truth to himself.
As to why they lied, I'm guessing here, is because they didn't want to hurt the older brother, who believed his own story to be the truth, and because he was young, and could have damage him psychologically even more
The parents didn't know the sacrifice our Vice president made to stop the fighting
He lied about his memory loss. He was the bigger person than either one of his parents. He knew he have to do something to help the family.
Yeah that's true
Well I'm not trying to justifie the parents here, i'm just tryng to understand their decision as to why they hide the truth. And the vice president's "memory loss " helped them a great time here, so indeed the vice president is a great person ^^
okay, I honestly don't feel so guilty about having judged the older brother, also because he treated the vice president badly, making the fake person in front of others too. But I apologize for saying that he was lying- that is, he lied, but unintentionally.
However, he continues to be unpleasant and I still consider him hateful. Now I have to know why the family decided to lie to their children.
Sorry, I don't speak English very well.
