Received a New Year's award, went to a friend to visit, on the way bought cereals, butter, cheese, tuna in canned food, came and opened her refrigerator.

Difficult situations in lifeNo one is safe from them, and they can get away with it for a long time. At times like this, it’s important to have people around who can support you. And often help is provided by a completely stranger, while loved ones are not particularly in a hurry to substitute a shoulder.

Today's edition. "Site" The story of a woman who came to the aid of her former classmate. And the woman was very surprised to learn that, except for her, no one else wants to help her friend, even her own (and quite wealthy) older brother.



I have known Oksana since school, although she transferred to our school only in high school. We immediately found a common language, got along well and even after graduation tried to keep in touch, although not always it turned out, writes Taisia.



And this year, Oksana divorced her husband and was left alone with her daughter in her arms in a rented apartment. Yes, she is a smart girl, at work, but the salary is small, there are no allowances and bonuses. And from the ex-husband help is minimal, he pays alimony not at all large.”

“A friend has parents in our town. But they are already retired, they need money themselves, because health in their years is a rather unstable thing, they regularly have to spend either on a pharmacy or on a hospital. It is good that Oksana parents at least a child can sometimes leave, this is already a serious help for her.”



“I came to visit for the first time and was unpleasantly surprised. The apartment is old, there has been no repair for a long time, the furniture is decrepit, the technique is also not the first freshness. Yes, the friend does not complain, it is not in her character. But I understand how hard it is for her. I see that there is not enough money even to buy something delicious for a child.

This time, having received a salary and a New Year’s award, I asked my friend for tea. On the way I bought cereals, butter, cheese, canned tuna, cake: I wanted to help. I came in, opened the fridge, and it's empty. It didn't even feel like it.



“Oxana, of course, was embarrassed, but she accepted my help with gratitude. We sat down to drink tea, and in conversation I once remembered that she seemed to have a brother.

The friend was a little silent, and then said that with his brother they do not maintain contact, and her life he is not interested. Yes, and once he has business and all sorts of serious business. And the other day her parents told her that Oleg and his family went to rest abroad. It turns out that he lives cheerfully, raking money with a shovel, but he does not communicate with his sister and does not help. Only parents are sometimes visited.”



“I simply could not believe that girlfriend In this situation, they sided with Oleg. They believe that the son has his own family, so he does not have to take care of his younger sister and niece. And she should have thought about whom to marry and how to provide for herself and her child.”

“It seems to me that Oksana’s relatives are doing very wrong. He is not a stranger to them and does not deserve such treatment. As long as I have known her, she always acted according to her conscience, always helped everyone, did nothing wrong. Life is unpredictable. It will be necessary, they themselves will resort to her for help, the young woman is indignant.

Perhaps Taisiya is right about something, because relatives should always maintain good relations with each other and help if possible. However, in reality, everything does not always turn out so cloudless. It’s good to have friends who can help when things happen. hardship.
