I've always been much closer to my mom, while my Sofia has always been the opposite - she loves spending time with dad. I think that's because she was only 5 years old when he left, so she doesn't really know the real reasons why he and mom parted ways. Anytime I have issues or problems with my dad, I usually go to my mom for support. But this time, it didn't go so well.

My mom is a lawyer, so she's typically pretty tenacious when it comes to standing up to my dad and advocating for me. However, this time she seemed a bit worn down and hesitant to put up too much of a fight. She told me that she understands my frustration, but she thinks it might actually be best if I just go ahead and visit my dad, even though I didn't request the trip.

I was really looking forward to hanging out with Sofia tomorrow, and I was bummed that I'd have to cancel those plans to go see my dad instead. I tried to explain to my mom how much I was looking forward to that, and how unfair it is that my dad is forcing this trip on me. But my mom just sighed and said that sometimes we have to make sacrifices for the sake of family, even if it's not what we want to do.

I know my mom is just trying to be the peacekeeper, but I can't help feeling frustrated. My dad has a history of being stubborn and controlling, and I was really hoping my mom would be on my side this time and help me get out of going to see him. But it seems like she's just too tired to fight him on it anymore. I guess I don't have much choice in the matter at this point.

joaofelix79: Girl, where are you going? And who is he?
^Is someone jealous? Can't handle seeing Camila living her best life, huh?

ferrantorres: Where are you going?

Pablo Torres: Group chat right now.

🇪🇸La Masia Gang❤️

Ferran 🤦‍♀️:
Camila, where could you be? I'm so worried... This isn't like you to just disappear on us.

Fermin 🥸:
Camila, please come back. The group just isn't the same without your sarcastic wit.

Ale 🍺:
Guys, I'm really concerned. This isn't good at all. What if something happened to her?

Camila 🤪🖕:
Don't worry, I'm okay. Well, as okay as I can be. I'm just going to visit my father. It's not like I have a choice in the matter.

Joao 🇵🇹:
In Portugal?

Camila 🤪🖕:
No, the zoo. Apparently that's where he lives now, in the lion's den or something. I don't know, it's all very bizarre.

Pablo 🧻:
Damn, that's rough. I can't imagine having to go visit my old man at the freaking zoo. That's a new level of dysfunctional.

Joao 🇵🇹:
I was just asking, no need to be so hostile. Jeez, the tension is palpable even through the screen.

Jude 🍆:
But you ask dumb things, my dude. Like, who the hell visits their dad at the zoo? That's just weird.

Ansu 🤢:
Facts. This whole situation is a complete and utter mess. I feel for you, Camila.

Camila 🤪🖕:
Guys, he got me the ticket last night. I had no choice in the matter. I'm staying at Joao's family's house if I get into a fight with him. Pray for me.

gavi 🫢 👶:
Do you and your dad not get along? That's so unbelievably sad. I can't imagine having that kind of strained relationship.

Camila 🤪🖕:
Yeah, remember what I told you the other day? It's a long and tragic story that I really don't feel like revisiting right now. The worst part is that my sister Sofia isn't going with me. I could really use her support right now.

gavi 🫢 👶:
Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that. Not having your sister there with you must make this whole situation even harder. I wish I could do something to help, but I know this is something you have to deal with on your own.

Camila 🤪 🖕:
It's fine, I guess. I'm just trying to get through this whole ordeal in one piece. Wish me luck, guys. I'm really going to need it.

pedri 🇮🇨 🥵:
Did you have to go? That sucks so bad. I can't believe your dad is making you do this. And without your sister Sofia by your side, that must be torture.

Camila 🤪 🖕:
No choice whatsoever. I have to be here for a whole miserable month. Someone please send me a care package filled with chocolate and wine. I'm going to need it to survive this.

Ferran 🤦‍♀️:
I'm so sorry, Camila. Please know that we're all here for you, even if we can't physically be with you. Call us anytime, okay? We'll do our best to make this time a little more bearable, especially without your sister Sofia there.

Camila 🤪 🖕:
Yeah, thanks. I'll try to survive this living nightmare. Wish me luck, because I'm gonna need it. Especially without my sister by my side.
