When Beatrice Discovered She Was Pregnant, Her Family Was Stunned – They Couldn’t Accept Her Relationship With a Man They Believed Wouldn’t Stay For Long
Beatrice is an ordinary girl from Birmingham, brought up in a typical family. She was raised by her mother and stepfather, who always treated her like his own daughter. Her parents supported her in everything; she always knew she was loved and could count on them. Beatrice finished school and passed her A-levels, but getting into university was uncertain due to her limited knowledge of English.
Beatrice decided private lessons would help her improve her English faster, so she began looking for a tutor. She chose Ronnie, originally from Ghana, who had come to England for his studies. He spoke perfect English and had been giving private lessons for years. At first, lessons were difficult for Beatrice. Gradually, though, she grew to like Ronnie, and soon their relationship became very close. They no longer wanted to be apart.
When Beatrice discovered she was pregnant, her family was shocked. They didn’t approve of her relationship with someone they thought wouldn’t be around for long. They imagined her raising the child alone and coping with their child standing out from others because of their appearance.
After graduating, Ronnie really did return to his homeland but kept in constant touch with Beatrice. Both awaited the birth of their baby; they regularly called each other and talked on Skype. Beatrice’s baby was born healthy, but the hostility from her family forced her to move to Ghana.
Beatrice and her husband encountered difficulties in Africa as they couldn’t adapt to the climate, which led them to return to England. Some time later, they welcomed a second daughter. Their family refuses to keep in touch, but Beatrice doesn’t want to leave her beloved just to please them. Now, they plan to move to Canada, hoping to find more tolerant people there. When Harriet found out she was pregnant, her family was utterly gobsmacked. They couldnt quite stomach
My son spent years searching for the right woman to marry, but I never questioned his choices—until, at 30, he found Emily, who seemed perfect for him.
Every day, I heard about how kind and beautiful she was—my son was truly smitten, and I found myself growing fond of Emily as well. He spoke of her virtues with such passion to me and his friends that, when they quickly decided to marry, I wholeheartedly supported his decision as a loving mother.
Planning a wedding can be daunting, but my friends pulled it off brilliantly. The bride’s parents were wonderful, and we got along famously from the start. It was blissful at first, but gradually, things changed. Their marriage began to fall apart and conflicts became more frequent. I knew it was only their first year together and believed things would settle down, but I worried—they deserved to be happy.
One evening shook me deeply. Late at night, my son arrived at my door with his belongings. He told me he had nowhere to go; his wife had kicked him out. He stayed with me for a few days, and Emily never came by, not even to talk things over. This pattern kept repeating itself.
When my daughter-in-law told me she was pregnant, I decided to sit down with them and offer some advice on avoiding future misunderstandings. Unfortunately, my attempt only made things worse. Their disagreements became more frequent, and my son stayed at my place even more often. He was a changed man, no longer the happy person he once was—I could see the disappointment in his eyes.
Watching my son suffer in such a toxic relationship was unbearable, so I advised him to consider whether it was worth staying married. He could be a wonderful father even if he and Emily lived apart. Shortly after, he filed for divorce.
Not long after, Emily came to me asking for help. She pleaded with me to convince my son to withdraw the divorce petition, as she didn’t want to tear their family apart. I had often encouraged her to nurture her family, but now she was blaming me publicly for interfering and causing the split.
Now, I don’t know if urging my son to divorce was the right thing to do. His wife dislikes me, and my son seems to be drifting away from me too. Maybe they still love each other? Living apart is hard, but staying together wasn’t working either. My son has spent years searching for the right woman to marry, but I never questioned his choices.
My second husband turned out to be a truly wonderful man, never hesitating to spend money on things for
