One quiet night, I picked up my phone and prepared to make an important call to my son. This call meant that I was going to tell him that I wanted to remarry his father, my ex-husband. The tension and anticipation in my heart were so mixed that I almost forgot to breathe.
My son answered the phone, his voice sounding a little tired, but still full of love and respect for my mother. "Mom, what's wrong?" he asked.
I took a deep breath and said, "Your dad and I decided to remarry." ”
The son on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's better to forget about remarriage." ”
This brief response was like a blow to me, instantly shattering my inner expectations and illusions. I was shocked, disappointed, and even a little angry. It was a big decision for me, but for my son, he didn't want to accept it.
My son's answer made me reflect on my choices. I began to wonder if I had made the right decision and if I had really taken my son's feelings into account. I felt guilty and uneasy, wondering if I had neglected my son's true needs and emotions.
I'm reminded of a famous quote: "True love is selfless, it doesn't ask for anything in return." This sentence is like a ruler, measuring whether my love for my son is really selfless and pure. I began to reflect on my own actions and try to understand my son's thoughts and feelings.
I decided to sit down with my son and communicate sincerely. I told him that my decision to remarry took into account his future and well-being, and that I was willing to listen to his ideas and suggestions. When my son heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he became warm and understanding.
We began to share each other's feelings and sincerely express our doubts and hopes in our hearts. This conversation gave me a deeper understanding of my son's inner world, and also made me understand how we should respect and support their choices and decisions as parents.
Eventually, my son and I decided that remarriage might not be the best option right now, but we were willing to work together to find a lifestyle and solution that would better suit us. We decided that we would support and cherish each other's feelings no matter what the future holds.
This experience taught me that true love is not just about dependence and commitment to each other, but more importantly understanding and support. I feel deeply grateful and relieved because I know that no matter what the future holds, we will support each other, care for each other, and love each other as a real family.
