My friend and her five-year-old son live with her mother. She is not a single mother, but her mother does not like her son-in-law and does not allow them to live with her.
My friend’s husband is divorced, 8 years older than her, and has a daughter from her first marriage. This is what the mother reproaches the friend with, but it is her own fault that her daughter married late. All the applicants did not suit her mother, and when their father died, her friend listened to her mother. When I was indignant and advised her to move out and make her own life, she said: “Come on, my mom has no one but me, she wishes me well.” So she wished me well.
She and her husband got married, rented an apartment, but when the baby was born, my mother offered to live with her. She missed her grandson, helped at first, then she set a condition – my son-in-law had to buy an apartment or move out. I persuaded my friend to leave with her husband, but she was sorry to leave her mother. Now she suffers, and her son grows up without a father.
At first she and her husband were communicating, he was hoping she would change her mind and move in with him. He rents an apartment. But her friend insisted that he ask her mother for forgiveness and she would let him live with them. I would have been surprised if he had agreed, and it wouldn’t have lasted long.
Three years went by like that. Now a friend is complaining that her husband is calling less and less frequently, not calling to see her, and she recently found out that he reconciled with his ex-wife. There’s a grown daughter and a grandson born. And her friend will live with her selfish mother. I hate mothers like that.
