Reading the confessions on this site, I noticed that many mothers are perplexed about what they have done wrong with their children’s upbringing. I wanted to share my own story.
Parents are like parents, not bad, not good, in a word, nothing. You know, when parents seem to be there, but they don’t do anything at all? As a child I was a quiet child and spent a lot of time with my books. And what else do you propose to do if you are ignored. Yes, I was fed and clothed once a year before school. I never felt any anger or aggression towards my parents, they were probably trying their best.
But here’s a question, “kids don’t leave good parents, do they?” I have two older sisters, one left home at 16 and the other got married and had a baby at 17. The difference between us is 8 and 11 years respectively. Mom was only interested in her dacha, and Dad in TV.
I entered the university only thanks to my aunt, who was our neighbor and teacher of physics and chemistry. I am grateful to her for the rest of my life (by the way, she is my mother-in-law). Her son was my classmate, so we can say that it was love since school.
We are adults, independent people. We started everything from scratch. It was hard, but somehow we made it. It was difficult several times when we moved from place to place in search of something better, we searched for probably 7-8 years, but in the end all our efforts brought fruit and my husband and I settled in the capital. For a long time now we have had good jobs and salaries, we have children, everything is good.
