My mother told me all her life that my father had passed away before I was born, but a couple of days ago a man appeared on my doorstep.

“I grew up without a father all my life and was sure that he died before I was born,” says Anastasia. The girl is 25 years old, recently moved away from her mother and began to build an independent life. Everything went as usual, until suddenly a secret stranger knocked on her door. What happened and how this story ended, read further in the article.



My mother is a private entrepreneur, she is in business. For as long as I can remember, she was always talking to someone on the phone and solving questions. When I was a little girl, I used to have a nanny with me while my mom was away.

I grew up without a father: a serious illness took him before I was born. That's what my mom said when I first consciously asked where my dad was. I could not understand why other children have fathers and I do not. My mother’s answer was very upset, and I had no choice but to believe her.



When I was 14, my mother had a boyfriend. He was much younger than my mother and I didn’t know what was going on between them. He wasn't my father. But it wasn't necessary for me or him or my mother.

For a while I was angry with my mother, I thought she had betrayed my father’s memory. I even made her a scandal on this occasion. Then my mother took my hand and said, My girl, your father always wanted us to be happy. If I live the rest of my life alone, can I find that happiness? ?



Then I realized that my mother had every right to a new relationship. I've made it easier to treat my mom's boyfriend. After a couple of months, he disappeared. After a while, a new one appeared, and then another one. I really didn’t know what my mother had in mind. But I never talked to her about it again. Now I get it.

The unexpected guest Puzzle formed when a neat but modestly dressed man knocked on my door. He looked about 50 years old. He introduced himself: My name is Andrei Parkhomenko. I'm sorry I couldn't come sooner. I'm your dad.

It’s hard to put into words how shocked I was. I grew up without a father all my life and was sure he was dead. The other one, in my place, might have twisted her finger to her temple and kicked out a brazen stranger. But for some reason I decided to listen to this man.



He told me in great detail what my mother had done. In the early days of their relationship, my father and his friend co-founded a company. However, his mother cheated on him with the same friend. When he found out about everything, he wanted to deprive him of the rights to the company. But my mom anticipated it and came up with a plan.

At the time, she was pregnant with me and decided to blackmail her father. Said if he didn't disappear from her life and give up the business voluntarily, Mom would do anything to make me grow up hating him. If he does what she wants, she will at least let him watch me grow.



Dad showed me a whole folder of my baby pictures, my first baby tooth, carefully hidden in a small box. I couldn't believe my eyes. Dad gave up everything in his life.

And my mother just cheated everyone. I got my dad's friend, became his business partner, and then took over the whole company. Changing men like gloves. I guess until I was 14, I just didn’t know they existed. And then the mother decided that she could no longer hide.



For 25 years I thought my father was dead. But now I see it in front of me, so real and simple. He was talking about his life after breaking up with his mom, and I was just crying. I'm so glad my dad finally decided to tell me the truth. I know it was hard for him, he was afraid. But I'm not a little girl anymore, and now I can stand up for myself and my dad!

After reading this story, we got the impression that Anastasia was just a tool for her mother. Thanks to her, she was able to get what she wanted. The woman got a business, bankrupted her unloved husband and became rich in the end.



Although the heroine’s father did not have the opportunity to be near her, he managed not to defame himself in her eyes. They are confident that they will be able to catch up. But Anastasia's mother won't be able to do that anymore.

Would you find out about your relationship with your mother if you were Anastasia?
