Taken from life. “I raised my son alone”: When he grew up, he said he didn't want to have anything to do with me

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.
