We invested heavily, selling our house and car. There were no return tickets. Of course, everyone had long considered their place of residence, work, and school. But things took a turn for the worse when I discovered my brother had used the money for the wrong purpose.
Our financial situation isn’t what it used to be, yet every time she visits, my mother-in-law never misses a chance to remind me that my own parents could have done more for us.
The way my mother, Victoria, views life has always taken me by surprise. She believes that regardless of our past conflicts, our relationship is now neutral. As an elderly person, she insists that it’s our duty to assist her, despite never having apologized for her harsh words in the past. We never managed to get along because she never truly loved me.
I can’t say that I support the family on my own because that wouldn’t be true. My husband, Jeffrey, has a very good job. Thanks to his work, our children and I live quite comfortably. We have a three-bedroom house near the city center, a car, and a small cabin in the countryside. I’m very grateful for that, although due to his job, we don’t see each other often
