Why was the woman who raised two children alone in a hurry to ask relatives for help?

The stereotype that single-parent They grow up less happy, have long sunk into oblivion. Agree, because the main thing is that the child is loved and given his warmth. And even if only one parent does it, the child will not become less loved.



Really, single-child It's not that easy. Especially if the family has temporary financial difficulties. How do you feed your kids and give them enough time? Relatives usually come to the rescue. But in the life of the heroine of our history today, everything happened differently. Let's find out how she managed to cope with all the problems.

Outside the window raged the dashing nineties, when my husband died. I knew what was waiting for me with two small children in my arms. At first I was scared, but the tiny eyes of our little ones gave me faith and hope. Who can help them but me?

This thought took root in my head and helped me fight every day. Looking back at that time, I can't believe the kids and I survived. I think there were all possible problems along the way. There were times when there was nothing but empty pasta. In order to feed my children, I often undernourished myself. I didn’t care if the children were hungry.



As hard as it was, I never asked for help from my family. I didn't want to complain to them about our problems. I may be wrong, but I didn’t want to show my weakness. And there was no weakness. From morning to night I worked, and the rest of the time I devoted to the children.



I managed to get them back on their feet. They graduated with a gold medal, just think! Then they went to university and found a prestigious job. Sometimes I think our lives are just a script for a movie. But miracles do happen...

Now my relatives reproach me, they say, I did not give the children the most important thing – a happy childhood. “Children did not know what fruit and candy were! Yes, we lived modestly, but we could bring a bag of potatoes. Your pride has been a hindrance to you all your life! the sister of her husband still repeats.

Although we lived in poverty, we were fueled by love, mutual respect and warmth. And I really hope that my favorite kids can keep all of this. And let the relatives continue to complain...

A proud single mother who raised two children is respected. Not asking for help from relatives is her choice and should be considered. However, one question arises: where were all these relatives before and why were they not interested in the life of the unhappy woman? Everyone knew that she was a widow.
