"Mom, why did you want to remarry in the first place?" My daughter Xiaomin asked suddenly. I was silent for a moment, wondering if I should confide in her.
"What, don't you want me to remarry?" I asked with a smile to hide my hesitation.
"Of course not! It's just that I'm worried about how worried you have been lately. Xiao Min said with concern.
"Actually, when I met your father, I fell in love at first sight. "I started to reminisce," I was 45 years old and working as an accountant for a company. One day, a new 50-year-old boss arrived, who is your current stepfather. "
"He has a good demeanor, and his speech and demeanor exude the charm of a mature man. I was deeply attracted to him and had a longing for him. "When I say this, I can't help but smile and look at me gently.
"How did you come together?" Xiao Min asked curiously.
"Your dad also admires me, and often compliments me in the office on being careful and responsible. Once, he invited me to a meal and made a symbolic confession to me. A happy look unconsciously appeared on my face, "Since then, we have been prosperous, and you have been born." "
Xiao Min nodded and motioned for me to continue.
"In the first few years, your father was very obedient to me, and he was simply the embodiment of gentlemanly manners. "He never let me do the housework, and he would take me out on weekends when I was free." We did have a very loving and sweet time at that time. "
"He changed a lot, and I was confused and miserable at the time. But whenever I wanted to resist, he would make me happy, and I was confused. I shook my head helplessly.
Xiao Min nodded thoughtfully and motioned for me to continue.
"Once, your father asked me to quit my job and concentrate on my husband and children at home. My brow furrowed, "I was very reluctant at the time, work for me is not only a source of income, but also a reflection of self-worth." "
Xiao Min nodded, her eyes looking at me sincerely.
"But your father just didn't listen to my explanation, and shouted at me: 'Why are you such a bad woman, it is your duty to serve me and the children well at home!'" I mimicked his tone at the time, pain written all over my face.
I was so frightened that I was trembling and could only nod my head and resign. Since then, your father has confined me to the house, and my life has been limited to taking care of the housework and taking care of your father and son. At this point, my eyes moistened.
Xiao Min stepped forward and gave me a hug and comforted: "Mom, it's all over, and it's a relief to say it now." "
I took a deep breath and continued, "Then one day, your father was vexatious and asked me to transfer all our money to his name. "
I finally couldn't take it anymore and plucked up the courage to ask him for separation. "I told him that if he is so domineering again, we will separate!"
Xiao Min's eyes widened in surprise, as if she didn't expect me to do this.
"Guess what he said?" I smiled self-deprecatingly, "He glared at me fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, 'You useless thing, you still want to leave me, go dream!'"
I met his glaring gaze steadfastly, and the fear in my heart had long since been swept away. I made up my mind that I would never compromise again.
"Later, you also persuaded me to divorce, but I insisted on leaving. I lowered my eyes and sighed.
Xiao Min paced around anxiously, and asked puzzledly, "But Mom, why do you have to endure all this? He is simply abusing you!"
"I know, I know. "It's just one in ten thousand hopes, and I still want to give him a chance to mend his ways." "
I raised my head and looked resolute: "I thought that as long as I worked harder, he would treat me well again, and our marriage could still be happy again." "
Xiao Min sighed and didn't say anything more. She knew that I had made up my mind, and even repeated persuasion would be futile.
"But your father's behavior is getting more and more excessive. "He began to interfere in all my lives, and I had to ask his permission for everything I did." "
My brow tightened, and my tone became more and more agitated: "Once, I just wanted to go to the corner shop to buy some groceries, but he wouldn't let me go out!
Xiao Min pounded the table angrily: "This is too much! Mom, why do you want to endure this insult?"
I shook my head helplessly, my eyes gloomy: "I was afraid, afraid that he would hurt our mother and daughter, so I could only force obedience." "
My hands trembled unconsciously, as if I had fallen into the shadow of the past again. Xiao Min hurriedly stepped forward to hug me and comforted: "Mom, it's all over, you are safe now." "
Xiao Min's eyes instantly moistened, and she stared at me wordlessly, motioning for me to continue.
"There were times when I was just the slightest bit sloppy and he would hit me so hard that I was bruised all over my body. When I said this, I couldn't help crying bitterly, "That kind of life is worse than death! I would rather die than live in misery again!"
Xiao Min burst into tears, hugged me tightly, and helplessly repeated "I'm sorry Mom, I'm sorry".
"Then one day, your dad was going to beat me again, and I finally broke out!" My eyes were firm and decisive, "I called the police directly and kicked him out of the house." Since then, we have officially separated. "
I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and put on a strong look: "Although this marriage has given me too much pain, I have let go. I want to live a stable and happy life for myself and for you. "
Xiao Min nodded, her eyes full of admiration.
In this way, I finally confided what I had been saying for many years. After saying this, my heart suddenly opened up, as if I had thrown away a heavy burden. Yes, I'm not scared anymore, I want to regain my happiness and start a new life!
"Mom, I really admire you so much. Xiao Min said sincerely, "In that environment, you can still maintain your sanity and dignity, and finally get rid of that bastard." "
I smiled bitterly: "It was really difficult at the time, but for the sake of you and for myself, I had to come out." I looked around at this small and stable home, and a look of relief appeared on my face, "At least now, we can live a peaceful life." "
Xiao Min nodded, but there was a faint sadness in her eyes. I saw what was on her mind and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, Mom is completely relieved." That marriage did leave a deep shadow on me, but I will slowly come out of it. "
"As long as you are by your side, Mom has enough courage and strength. I said firmly, "We will be happy again." "
Xiao Min nodded, and a smile finally appeared on her face.
In this way, with the support and encouragement of my daughter, I gradually came out of the haze and regained the joy of life.
One day, Xiao Min came to me excitedly: "Mom, I signed you up for a hand-knitting class, do you want to learn it?"
I blinked, a little surprised: "But at my age, what are I doing here?"
"Just to have some fun with you. "And knitting is good for your finger movements, and it's also very helpful for relieving psychological stress." If you're not interested, forget it. "
I pondered for a moment, and felt that my daughter had a point, so I nodded my head in agreement.
And just like that, I started a new life of weaving. At first, I was often at a loss, but gradually, under the guidance of my teacher and Xiaomin, I slowly mastered the trick. Looking at the woolen hats and scarves that I knitted by myself, I felt extremely happy and proud.
"Mom, this sweater is so beautiful! Every time Xiao Min sees my handiwork, she will be sincerely amazed.
I smiled and nodded, but I thought to myself: yes, this is my own life, and I should be proud and proud of it.
Gradually, the circle of my life became bigger and bigger. In addition to the knitting class, I also participated in community fitness activities and made many friends.
Everyone praised me for being energetic, enthusiastic and cheerful, and I couldn't tell that I was 61 years old at all. I'm also getting better and better, and I always have a happy smile on my face.
Sometimes Xiao Min jokes: "Mom, are you in love again?
I would laugh out loud and tell her earnestly, "No, Mommy just finally found herself." I used to be imprisoned at home by your father, and my life was only to take care of the housework. Now that I have finally regained my freedom, of course I have to cherish it and live a positive life. "
Xiao Min would nod, her eyes full of relief.
Yes, I have completely come out of the haze and embraced this wonderful world again. I want to use my own hands to create a new life.
"Mom, how are you doing?" One day, Xiao Min suddenly asked me.
I would tell her that I am very happy and at ease now. Spend every day either in knitting classes or in community activities; When you go home in the evening, you can also chat with her and learn about her living situation.
"Ah, Mom, have you ever considered remarrying?" Xiao Min asked suddenly.
I was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook my head: "No, my mother is very content now, and I don't want to experience that kind of marriage again." "
Xiao Min saw the hesitation in my eyes, and quickly explained: "Mom, I didn't let you have to remarry. I just think that a person like you can seek a new marriage and live a life in a world of two. "
I was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I know you mean well, but after experiencing a marriage like my ex-husband, I really can't let go of it completely. Maybe in the future, if I meet the right person, I will consider it. But for now, I just want to live my life in peace and don't want to be tied down by anyone anymore. "
Xiao Min nodded, and seemed to agree with my thoughts.
Yes, I have been freed from prison, and I want to live the life I yearn for, and I will no longer be bound and hurt by anyone. Although the future is still a little unknown, as long as I maintain the current mentality, I will be able to be happy and healthy.
