Tomorrow was her daughter’s graduation, Maria opened the closet and was looking for a dress, as luck would have it – nothing suitable was there. Suddenly, her daughter entered the room. “Mom, you can be offended, but I don’t want to see you at my graduation,” she said firmly and decisively. Maria
sat down on the bed. She could not understand anything. Her husband also treated her badly. He said that his wife looked bad, she was old. The daughter was close to her father, only he went to parental meetings. Maria decided that she would talk to him in the evening and tell him about her daughter’s actions. Maria and Aleks fell in love with each other very young. They just got married.
There was no money for the wedding. Maria has one mother, with a very modest income. Alex is from a large peasant family. Maria made sacrifices for the sake of her family. She left the university and started working so that Alex could study. Maria wanted to return, but her husband persuaded her: “Let’s wait another year, I have to find a job, and then we will take care of you. The girl had to forget about studying. In her life there were new troubles in the form of a loan, work, household chores, a child. That’s how they lived. Now Alex is a successful businessman, he has his own company. Maria waited for her husband and started a conversation. – What’s going on? Why are you and your daughter wiping your feet on me?” she asked her husband almost in tears.
– Maria, I think everything is clear here. Student feelings are long gone, we are adults and very different. I am ashamed of you! We need to part. The daughter left with her father. She did not answer her mother’s calls and told not to disturb her. Alex soon married a younger woman. The daughter took care of herself. Changed her hairstyle and image. She looked great. Years went by, Maria’s daughter became a mother herself. But her husband left her, and she could not go to her father, so she remembered her mother. Maria could not tell her daughter, and she apologized for a long time. And later the ex-husband appeared, but Maria did not give him a chance, of course…
