I raised him myself. < img src = "https://zycie.news/crrops/1691f9/620x0/1/0/2025/02/14/2dtt3rglix0rccn0rvtgawdajoc0px8frpz8jit.jpg" alt = "from life taken." Quot; my son got married and forgot about me & quot;: Now, when I need help, he doesn't even answer the phone " styles = "background-color: rgba (49,47,37,1)" > < p > I sat at the kitchen table, looking at the phone, which was silent from hours from hours.

< p > I called three times.

< p > The first time the signal lasted longer, as if hesitating or picking up.

< p > after the second & ndash; immediately rejected.

< p > for the third & ndash; Only an automatic secretary.

< P > & AMP; BDQO; I can't talk now, I will call p & oacute; < p > but I knew he wouldn't call back.

< p > because he never said.

< P >I tried to be the best mother for him all my life.

< p > I raised him myself. His father left when he was six years old. It was not easy for me to & ndash; Each zloty & oacute; wka had to be watched twice, each night was full of tired after work, every day subordinated to his needs.

< p > I didn't have time for my own life. But I didn't regret a moment.

< p > When he was a child, we were inseparable. He came to me with everything & ndash; with a broken knee, with first successes, with children's secrets.

< p > When he grew up, I still felt that I was important to him.

< p > but then it appeared.

< p > justyna.

< p > from the beginning I felt that he did not like me.

< p > at the beginning she was nice, but in time I began to see how subtly pushed me away.

< P >& Amp; MDASH; Filip, maybe today we will spend the evening & oacute; r only in two ?

< p > — Filip, your mother has already called three times. Maybe you don't have to receive her each time ?

< p > — Filip, we are a family. Your mother must understand this.

< p > I didn't know at the time that the family meant only their two.

< p > A I ?

< p > I was the past.

< p > After the wedding, gradual pushing began.

< p > first less phone & oacute; w.

< p > then rare visits.

< p > until finally silence.

< p > I didn't want to be intrusive, I didn't want to impose myself. But when I saw their photos from holidays, holidays, birthdays & ndash; All without me & ndash; I felt my heart burst.

< p > I was a mother and I became someone who no longer suited their world.

< p > I really needed it today.

< p > I was sick. The doctor said that M & oacute; j condition is getting worse, that I should have someone who will help me.

< p > and I had no one.

< p > only his.

< p > but his phone was still silent.

< p > The last time the & oacute; I caused to call.

< p > signal.

< p > and then his voice:

< p > — Mom, now I can't.

< p > only so much.

< p > three words.

< p > Before I could say something, he hung up.

< p > I looked at the phone and understood.

< p > It was not that not m & oacute; main

< p > he just didn't want.

< p > and I, for someone whom I gave my whole life, became only the past.
