I was young when Marek's father left.
< p > everything I had, I gave him.
< p > I was young when Marek's father left. He left nothing but a handful of lies and unpaid bills. I had no choice & ndash; I had to be a mother and father. I worked at night, gave up my own needs, did everything to make my child a better life. < p > I never complained. I never regretted. < p > and then the day came when my sacrifice ceased to be relevant.< p > — Mom, we have to talk — He said, sitting opposite me at the kitchen table.
< P >He was already an adult, well -dressed, confident. Completely different from the boy who I hugged to sleep for so many years. ~ 60 > < p > — What's going on, son ?
< p > — Don't call me that — threw sharply.
< p > I froze.
< p > — Mark & amp; Hellip;
< p > sighed, as if the very fact of this conversation was a burden for him.< p > — You have strangled me with your love all your life. You kept controlling me, you wanted to decide who I should meet with, where to study, what to do.
< p > I felt my heart starting faster.< p > — I & Hellip; I only wanted your good.
< p > — Your good, not mine! & Amp; MDASH; He interrupted me. & Amp; MDASH; You have never listened to me! < p > — I listened to you & hellip;< p > — No, mom. Never.
< p > He looked at me with a foreign look.< p > — That's why I made a decision. From now on I want to live my own way. Without you.
< p > I felt dark in front of my eyes.< p > — Mark, what are you m & oacute; wsz ?
< p > — I don't want you to speak to me. I don't want your phone & oacute; in your messages. I don't want you to be part of my life.
< p > I blinked quickly, fighting with tears.< p > — Why ?
< p > — Because I don't need it anymore.
I felt how I crack on a thousand pieces & oacute; w.< p > I watched him get up, takes the jacket, approaches the door.
< p > — Goodbye, mom. < p > and then came out.< p > did not even look over the shoulder.
< p > and then I understood that the greatest loneliness is when a man devotes everything to someone who then rejects him without hesitation.
