I still can’t get over what my mother did. She may have left my father, but to leave me six months pregnant is beyond my comprehension. My name is Maria, I am married and recently became a mother of twins.
My parents have been married for twenty-eight years. My father worked as a builder, and my mother sold food at the market. Until my mother decided to run away abroad. I thought she would change her mind. But she didn’t.
Less than a month later, she called my father and told him that she had met another man there and wanted to divorce him. Later I realized that my mother’s escape had been planned in advance. As it turned out, it was a chance for her to run away to her new man. In my mother’s laptop, I found correspondence with a foreign man. He had been asking her to come to his place for a long time, but she could not make up her mind.
During her stay there, my mother called once to ask for a divorce. She never asked about my condition. She was arranging her personal life there.
Three months passed like that. Recently, my mom called me and said she wanted to come home. I really didn’t care about her coming. It was just something I had to do. All this time to live my own life and now to return to my family. You see, she suddenly remembered about us. I had already given birth to children. My friends told me that the foreigner just left her. Two days ago, my mother knocked on the door of our apartment asking me to forgive her. Dad gave her a chance, and I don’t even want to look in that direction. How can this be? I will visit my father, but I will not communicate with her.
Yesterday she met me in the store and said:
– “One day you will understand me, my daughter. I know you are still angry. We all make mistakes…
I was extremely angry with her, and at first I wanted to say everything I thought. But then I changed my mind and left in silence.
It was unpleasant that everyone in the store heard it. People are already looking at me sideways. They will have something to discuss. My whole family whispers behind my back. As if it was me who abandoned them.
I think I did the right thing. If a father has a weak character, I am not going to accept and communicate with my mother. I am convinced that I will not abandon my children under any circumstances.
