Macron was re-elected president of France, and his wife, who was 24 years older than him, and his mother, who was 27 years older than him, appeared at the scene of the event at the same time, and the relationship was harmonious, without any suspicions and barriers. The mother-in-law finally accepted the daughter-in-law who was 3 years younger than herself, it was really not easy, experienced a very painful and difficult choice, and finally found the reason from herself, understood Brigitte's sacrifice and fulfillment, and naturally accepted.
Brigitte is 24 years older than Macron. The hardest thing to accept is Macron's mother, not the betrayed husband. After Brigitte's husband learned of their love affair, he waited silently for 10 years, waiting for Brigitte to change his mind and find another young couple when Macron grew up. But what he was waiting for was Brigitte's divorce settlement. He graciously let go and lived with three children and never married again.
However, Macron's mother could not let go, she could not accept the woman next to her son, an old woman three years younger than herself. Macron's mother initially thought macron was small, and broke them up, and when Macron became an adult, she naturally left Brigitte. But what she was waiting for was not her son's return, but her own acceptance.
When Macron was 15 years old, he came to la Providence Jesuit School in Amiens, a school where Brigitte taught French and Latin, and was in the same class as Brigitte's eldest daughter, Lawrence. Macron loves theatre, he participates in the theatre workshops that Brigitte takes care of, and loves this enthusiastic and talented teacher very much. Macron often approached Brigitte to discuss drama, and the two fought too hotly, which gradually became a scandal.
When Macron's mother found out, she didn't believe it at first, and even if a 15-year-old boy fell in love early, he couldn't fall in love with his classmate's mother, a 39-year-old woman. It can't be love, maybe it's just that adolescent children worship teachers, like a female teacher, and mixed with a bit of hazy sexual consciousness. After a while, when he grew up and understood the feelings of men and women, he naturally knew that it was not love. She didn't care much, thinking that if she interfered too roughly, it might not be conducive to the growth of her son, and the woman was an adult female teacher, a mother of three children, how she would not accept the love of a 15-year-old child, which was ridiculous.
Macron's mother is right, and most people don't do it. But macron and Brigitte are not ordinary people.
Two years later, Macron did not leave Brigitte, but fell even more madly in love with her. Macron's mother discovered that her son was really in love. She was furious and went to the school to negotiate. The school also felt bad reputation and advised Brigitte, but the emotionally hot Macron did not care about this, and Brigitte was completely impressed by Macron's enthusiasm and determination, and she would never hurt Macron's feelings unless Macron did not love her.
Their affairs quickly spread in the local area, causing an uproar in public opinion, everyone accused Brigitte of moral corruption and seduced his own students, Macron is a 16-year-old child after all, what do you know? But Brigitte is a teacher, how can he accept the love of a boy who is a classmate of his own daughter? She should refuse, she should guide Macron in the right direction, not let him mess around and fall in love with him.
Brigitte's family could not stand this public opinion, and Brigitte's father denounced the little daughter for the shame of their family and sternly demanded that she sever ties with Macron.
But Brigitte couldn't listen at all. Perhaps out of the teacher's love for the students she admired, or perhaps with a maternal selflessness and sacrifice, Brigitte simply could not do anything to hurt Macron, she simply could not do anything that disappointed and saddened Macron.
In desperation, Macron's mother personally found Brigitte, angrily accused her of losing her teacher's morality and moral bottom line, and let her leave her son. Brigitte did not back down at all, and said emphatically: "I want this love."
Macron's parents were not ordinary people, his father was a doctor, his mother was a professor of neurology at the University of Picardy, and he had a certain social status, and they could not drive Brigitte away from their son, so they decided to use all their social connections to transfer Macron to Paris, away from Brigitte's hometown of Amiens.
They transferred Macron to a famous secondary school in Paris, the École Henri IV, the cradle of France's famous elite.
At that time, Macron was not yet able to resist his parents' orders, he could only obey. Before leaving, he said to Brigitte, "I will definitely come back and marry you." ”
Macron's mother thought that by separating her son from Brigitte, her son would be in a new environment and would have a new girlfriend. But she did not expect that a year or two later, Brigitte would also come to Paris to teach at a Catholic private secondary school in the 16th arrondissement.
At this time, Macron had been admitted to the University of Paris X to study philosophy, and he not only did not break off relations with Brigitte, but was in love with a stable date.
In the face of this, Macron's mother knows that it is useless to separate them geographically, and their hearts are connected. Moreover, she found that in fact, her son was more inseparable from Brigitte, and he longed for Brigitte to be by his side, rather than Brigitte chasing after his son. At the beginning of their relationship, Brigitte was touched by the passionate pursuit of her son. At first, Brigitte only regarded Macron as an ordinary student, but only admired this student more because of Macron's talent, she had absolutely no intention of seducing a 24-year-old student who was younger than herself, she was an excellent teacher. It was Macron who fell in love with Brigitte first, and Brigitte did not take it seriously at first, seeing him as a normal student who liked the teacher, or treated her as a mother who wanted to be close to her, loved her, interacted with the teacher more, liked to be with her, and that was it. As a teacher, she will never first understand the student's love for the teacher as the love of men and women, she thinks of mother-child affection, and she will not think of love.
But Macron's bold and passionate love made it impossible for her to refuse, she couldn't see his disappointed and sad eyes, and the thought that he would mourn because of her refusal, her heart was like a knife. It wasn't so much that she loved him, but that she felt so much for him that she wanted to fulfill him. In order to make him happy and full of upward motivation, she is willing to sacrifice everything, her own reputation, her family, she is willing to give up all this to be with him, to take care of him, to meet all his needs for her. In fact, in this relationship, Brigitte gave up a lot, sacrificed a lot, she is really like a mother around the child, as long as Macron needs, she will satisfy him, at the expense of everything.
Macron's mother slowly understood Brigitte, who sacrificed so much more than Macron, and it was Macron who was pulling her along. If Macron doesn't want her anymore, in fact, no matter what she does, there is no way to save her, she may not save herself, and she will quietly leave for him.
Brigitte's love was brave and selfless. It was a mother's love, so absurd, and she was still satisfied with him, knowing that it might not last long, and she was still willing to give, as long as he did not give up, she would spoil him, and would never give up first and make him miserable.
But what makes Macron so obsessed with a teacher of his mother's generation?
Macron's mother slowly combed her thoughts and looked for answers from Macron's upbringing.
Macron's father is a doctor and his mother is a university teacher, they are very busy, in order to develop their careers wholeheartedly, they gave Macron to their grandmother to bring.
Macron grew up with his grandmother, and in his childhood experience, the most influential was his grandmother. In his article recalling his childhood, he is filled with nostalgia and gratitude for his grandmother.
He wrote: "My grandmother... It was she who taught me to study hard. Since I was 5 years old, every day after school, she spent hours teaching me grammar, history, geography, reading, etc. I used to read aloud the works of Molière, Racine, Georges Duhamman, Mauriac and Ziono all day long. I remember when I was a kid, whenever there was an exam at school, my grandmother would wait for me to come home in anxiety, even if it was an insignificant quiz.
Macron lived with his grandmother as a child. Macron also recounts his grandmother's hobbies and origins at length: "In my grandmother's eyes, there is nothing more important than literature, philosophy and great writers. Because it was education that changed her own destiny..."
Because my grandmother liked literature and philosophy, Macron also liked literature and philosophy. His love of theater also comes from this.
"My grandmother was a teacher. ...... At that time, ordinary families had many prejudices about girls' education, and in the process of fighting these prejudices, my grandmother was never discouraged..."
"Now that she is gone, I have not gone a day without missing her, nor a day without looking for her gaze, because I hope that my future work will be worthy of her teachings to me..."
"Her voice and smile, the memories she told me, and her freedom and harshness still affect me to this day."
He loved his grandmother dearly, but unfortunately, she died when he was a minor, which was devastating to him. He missed her all the time. He "didn't go a day without missing her or looking for her gaze," including the work he later did, all in order to "live up to her teachings to me." ”
Brigitte and his grandmother are too similar, both are teachers, both like literature, philosophy, drama, and there are still great similarities in personality, both have a strong will, will not compromise with the surrounding environment, will fight for ideals, and know how to give and self-sacrifice.
Macron saw too much of his grandmother's shadow in Brigitte. He couldn't help but want to get close to her, to be with her. Leaving her, his heart was very uncomfortable, as if there was an emotional void sinking down.
Brigitte saw the influence she had on him and had to give up everything to take care of him.
After Macron was transferred to Paris, he has been writing letters to Brigitte and writing countless emotional letters, is it better for Brigitte not to reply and ignore him? Not necessarily, what if Macron has no intention of learning and is decadent? It's not impossible. And Brigitte catered to his enthusiasm, at least comforting his soul, bringing him great motivation and enthusiasm for learning.
Their love has been running for 14 years, not ordinary lovers can insist, their feelings have surpassed the love of the opposite sex, rising to the realm of soul confidant.
Macron's mother finally concluded that her son could not live without Brigitte and that he needed someone like Brigitte. And Brigitte was actually chosen, but she gave up everything she had for Macron, at any cost to cater to Macron, to complete Macron, at first to protect his soul from harm, let him complete his studies well, and then for his political career, once again gave up his work, revolved around him, and contributed everything to his cause. She had been serving Macron without herself. Brigitte's feelings nourish Macron, and she is almost the soil of Macron's feelings.
Macron's mother has no reason to drive Brigitte away from Macron, and her role and importance to Macron is far greater than that of her mother. Macron has never had a mother, he doesn't matter, but he can't live without Brigitte, and his emotional world will be empty.
To understand this, Macron's mother felt ashamed that she was sorry for her son, and she should thank Brigitte.
Instead of preventing them from getting married, she chose the blessing and withdrew from their lives in due course, handing over her son to her daughter-in-law Brigitte, a woman 3 years younger than herself, who no longer interfered in their lives.
Macron's mother completely withdrew from their lives, only to support her son's career and share their joy when it came to the momentous moments. However, she never stole the limelight from her daughter-in-law and gave all the highlight moments to her daughter-in-law. She let go completely.
