It is a difficult decision, but I do not intend to leave my son an inheritance.

“After retirement, I feel like no one needs me. I actually have two adult children: a son and a daughter. If Lyuba is still visiting for tea, Sasha does not contact me at all, does not call. Recently, he called me and asked if I was a day off, and I told him that I had already retired for 5 months, says Olga Pavlovna.

Women have always cared for children the same way. All her life she tried to provide Sashenka and Lyubash with everything she needed. And in old age, the children seemed to forget about it, especially the eldest son. He was not interested in the life of his old mother, and she decided to teach him a lesson.



It is only when you are old and nobody needs you that you have been for yourself all your life. And when you are alone with your old age, you realize everything. You begin to think about how to live the rest of the years, how to provide for yourself, what to occupy yourself. Someone nurses grandchildren, someone plants cucumbers in the country, and I cry all day and night, not understanding why my son is doing this to me. What did I do to him?



I raised my son and daughter alone, worked like everyone else, however, received alimony from my ex-husband. He's a decent man. Sometimes it was just alimony that saved us. It happened. The children were never hungry, and I could have been malnourished so they didn’t need anything. Growing up smart and polite, and that's it.



Lubasha comes to me when he can. She signed me up for Pilates, showed me a couple of English lessons on YouTube. It's never too late to learn. My daughter takes great care of me, cooks food, helps me clean up. She also offered financial assistance, you know what our pensions are. But I am still quite cheerful, I have enough money. There are some savings in the bank. But the son works two jobs, provides for his child. He's got two loans, his wife's on maternity leave, so he pays all his attention to them. And I'm out of work.



For two weeks I couldn’t reach Sasha. At first I thought the phone was bugging, but everyone else called the first time. And once came Lyuba to visit, so she told me that the subscriber can be blocked so as not to hear the calls. At first I was very worried, I cried, I could not understand what I had done to him. And then I realized that it was not my fault, I just did not need my own son.



So I decided to make a will for my daughter. I'll give her everything I have. Lyuba is messing with me like a small child, very worried that I live alone. She's always ready to talk, asking how I'm doing, helping with everything. If anything happens, that's all I hope for. So I thought it would be right to leave all the inheritance to her. She told her son so he wouldn’t be surprised. That's fair.



From the editorial office Olga Pavlovna can be understood. Many people fear retirement because they feel lonely and helpless, especially when they live alone. During this time, they expect children to care for their elderly parents, as they did for the first 18 years of their child. Some people care all their lives. The decision on the inheritance may have been considered, but Olga Pavlovna did it at a time when she was very offended by her son. Would she regret her decision? After all, their relationship is unlikely to improve after this.
