Every holiday, when others are celebrating the holidays, I have the idea of divorce. Incredibly, it was two elderly parents who prevented me from making this decision.
I was busy at work waiting for the May Day holiday to come, and I was finally able to go home to accompany my parents. I chose to spend it at home, having dinner with them and talking about family life.
In the course of the chat, I inadvertently revealed the difficulties of my life in recent times. I felt depressed, my marriage was in jeopardy, and I even had thoughts of escaping.
When my father heard this, he was silent for a moment and looked at me deeply. Then the 88-year-old man said to me earnestly: "Although you are 54 years old, you are too simple-minded and some things are not wise enough. Have you thought about family and children? Are you willing to give up these to find a new partner?
Do you think you'll find a better one after a divorce? I would like to remind you that the road ahead will not be smooth, and you may find that your new partner is nowhere near as good as your original partner. ”
My father's words were like a bolt from the blue, and I was lost in thought. I felt pain in my heart and tears couldn't help but fall. I told them about all the troubles in my life, including frequent quarrels, trivial household chores, etc.
My father comforted: "There will always be setbacks in life, who doesn't have a life full of hardships? We should learn to face it, not run away from it. My mother advised me: "Cherish yourself, care for your child, and don't expect too much from him." If you decide to divorce, treat him like a roommate. ”
She recalls the hard times of the past, when living conditions were even worse, but she persevered and raised the three of us siblings to adulthood.
