I stood in the kitchen, staring at the phone screen. < img src = "https://zycie.news/crrops/6ff916/620x0/1/0/2025/02/16/0ns9ntexj6teglwruehl9a3lzsej2iprlTa7l1ql.jpg" alt = "from life taken." Quot; my daughter -in -law does not work, but requires me to help her financially & quot; styles = "background-color: rgba (116,106,97.1)" > < p > & ~ mum, you can lend us a few thousand ? You know how it is, life is expensive & hellip; & ~ rdquo;

< p > there was no request in this.

< p > there was a request.

< p > not the first time.

< p > When M & AMP; Oacute; j son got married, I enjoyed his happiness.

< p > — Mom, Kasia is wonderful, you'll get along — assured me.

< p > I wanted to love her like c & oacute; rk.

< p > I wanted it to be part of the family.

< p > but she saw in me an ATM.

< p > first it started with small PR & oacute; Śb.

< p > — Mom, you could pom & oacute; C with the first rent ?

< p > — Mom, we need a new ice & oacute; wki, you could add us ?

< P >& Amp; MDASH; Mom, maybe you will pay for the holidays, since you don't go anyway ?

< p > I always agreed.

< p > because I loved my son.

< p > because I wanted him to be a pom < p > but I have never heard & thank you &.

< p > only more and more expectations.

< p > m & oacute; j son worked. He was working after hours.

< p > a kasia ?

< p > She sat at home, browned Instagram, bought new clothes.

< p > — Kasia can't work because she deals with the house — Filip explained to me when I was to raise the topic.

< p > — But you don't have children yet < p > — Mom, she wants to realize otherwise.

< p > & ampquo; realize & rdquo; meant spending my money.

< p > until finally I said & quite &.

< p > — Kasia, I can't still help you — I said when she came once again with another request.

< p > looked at me indignantly.

< p > — How is ?! After all, you are our family!

< p > — That is why you should learn to deal with yourself.

< p > exploded.

< p > — So now, when we have harder, you just turn around ?!

< p > — This is not my role to keep you.

< p > — You are a terrible mother -in -law!

< p > Since then it has stopped talking.

< p > m & oacute; j son also.

< p > and I sat in an empty apartment, wondering if I really lost him just because I didn't want to pay for his wife.

< p > because for her the money was more important than family.
