My daughters decided everything for me, and I had to accept it. Especially my daughters did not communicate with me, and after their marriage the relations became even worse. With the eldest daughter, we did not get along since adolescence. She always blamed me for her unsuccessful marriage and then divorce.
– You forced me to marry, and now I’m a single mother. Are you happy? Who will need me with this burden now, – she told me.
I love my granddaughter and I am always ready to take care of her, but this is not enough for my daughter. When she found out that I had a boyfriend and I was going to meet him, she was completely angry and stopped calling me.
She gave me a choice: either my granddaughter or my husband. I tried to explain to her that I am also a woman and I also need attention. I always have free time for my granddaughter, no one will stop me from taking care of her. After this conversation, she completely stopped communicating with me, even did not allow me to see my granddaughter.
The younger daughter treated me more respectfully, but the older one soon lured her to her side. Now both of them do not communicate with me, do not answer my calls, do not open the door when I go to visit. The younger daughter was always neutral to our quarrel with the elder and did not support anyone. But after the incident with the boyfriend, she also thought that it was wrong to have a relationship at my age.
– It is better to stay at home with grandchildren than to disgrace us. Don’t you think about our reputation at all? – the younger one told me.
I could not continue to communicate with that man, because my soul was uneasy: as if I was betraying my children. Of course, I was very lonely since their father left us, and now, when they also turned away from me, followed in their father’s footsteps, I felt bad and sad. Now that I am alone, I imagine the happy life that could have been if my family was with me.
