The family cursed us, my brother and I put my father in a nursing home.

How sad it is sometimes for children to realize that they father became old. Especially for those whose fatherhood was minimal. All worries and problems rested on the fragile shoulders of the mother or other relatives. But where was Dad at that time? Is he worthy of what his sons did to him?



The couple of Alexander and Marina was considered the most beautiful in their village. Many people looked at the girl, but she fell in love with a young man, though charming, but somewhat irresponsible. Her mother told her, “You really need that Shurik.” He is a fool, but the blind will not notice. And if you think marriage will change him, you're wrong, daughter. You are very wrong.”

Marina did not listen to her parents, although they continued to marry other guys. “Vitya is a kind, humble guy. Yura, who works in the village council, educated, polite always. No, give this daredevil to you, Marina’s father lamented. Yes, only the girl all the lectures of her relatives were useless when she met Shurik again and again. I don't know why a guy like that proposed to a girl. But she took it without hesitation.



Pink glasses Marina really began to break in the first months of marriage. Her husband did not change even the news that his wife carries under the heart of their first child. Shurik also actively rested with friends and sometimes with friends. Marina first tried to keep the stamp and went out to parties with her husband. But due to pregnancy night party soon had to stop.

Years went by, and the life of this couple turned out in a strange way. Shurik was walking and resting. Worked here and there. Marina gave birth to first Matvey, and 2 years later Tikhon. She loved children, but she tried to pay more attention to her husband. In order to prevent the appearance of other women in her life, Marina tried to always be with him and fully correspond to his ideals. “Why should I have a wife who won’t please me?” said Shurik.



It is not strange that over time, Matvey and Tikhon began to live with Marina’s parents. Grandparents, who had previously so high daughter for her frivolity, found in their grandchildren a real joy. The boys were smart and calm. Never again disturbed a couple of Nicholas and Victoria. Tikhon once called his grandmother “mother”.



The family of Nikolai and Victoria did not wait for help from Shurik. Of course, the family took some initiative, but empty-word It didn't come up. Marina's parents fully provided for the boys and raised them like their own sons. Biological mother flashed in the life of Matvey and Tikhon, but only occasionally. The children did not pay much attention to this woman.

The side passed them and the fact that Shurik dragged his wife into some questionable showdown. The yard was harsh 90s, so it was not surprising when Marina’s life suddenly and tragically ended. The girl’s parents were angry at her negligent husband and forbade him to approach the children. “Yes, I need them, these spinograts,” Shurik replied indifferently.



Thanks to good parenting and real family warmth, both boys grew up healthy and successful young people. They always helped their grandparents. Until one day, Matvey received a call from an unfamiliar number: Mother, I am your aunt Vera, Shurik’s cousin. I really need you to help your dad. Maybe a little money. It's hard for him, and you and your brother have turned away from him. It's not just family.

But Matvey was one of those people who didn't put a finger in his mouth. He immediately found the address where his biological father lived, took his brother, and I came to meet you. With a relative. The guys were not surprised by the smell that reigned in the poor apartment. My father did not part with the embrace of the green snake. In fact, they found out he was getting help from the government. Which is safely taken by this very aunt Vera.



"How's that father in boarding school? Are you guys crazy, big-ass? How dare you do this to your father? He has given you life, and you are ungrateful. God damn you, why did I just call you! – shouted Aunt Vera on the entire floor, when Matvey announced his plan of action for the near future.



Relatives on the paternal side tried to attack the family of Tikhon and Matvey with all their might, but the young men did not care. “The boarding school will take care of him. So he will be full and clean at least, said Tikhon. “To be honest, I also pay for the boarding school explicitly and did not give up for nothing. But this is at least a human act. This aunt Vera would never get off of us until the end of her father's days, and then her own. Give me the money, Mother. You grew up and learned how to earn, now we will get out on your neck and hanging legs, said Matvey.

Young men felt that their version was more humane than the one they had experienced. Two young children abandoned to their fate. Until they came. parentageThey raised them and put them on their feet. And the age of Nicholas and Victoria did not become an obstacle on the way to the title of "the most beloved parents." Their Tikhon and Matvey are respected like no other.
