I can’t do this anymore. Why should I bring up someone else’s child? We will have our own soon!” – the woman said to her husband
– Well, he is my son, – said the man.
– Yes, he is! Yours. She ran away, she’s making her own life. He’s not needed here! Either we part, or we give him to an orphanage! – the woman set the condition.
He was afraid to lose his wife. He could not imagine his life without her. Moreover, they were expecting another child together. By the will of fate, after the divorce, he immediately met a girl. He fell in love with her without memory. Her character was strong-willed, everything should always be as she says. But she does not go out and does everything at home, not like her ex.
A year later, his ex-wife appeared, handed him a son and a refusal from him. The man had no choice but to accept the son. The woman was visiting her friend for a long time that day, and when she returned and found out what had happened, she started a terrible quarrel. But at that moment, she still allowed her son to stay. The boy had a hard time being separated from his mother, constantly crying and calling for his mother. The woman became more and more irritated, but stayed with him during the day while her husband was at work. It did not last long.
– I’m sorry, of course. But could you take the boy to your place for a while? The woman needs to cool off a bit, she’s exhausted. Hormones are acting up. – The husband justified his wife.
– How can it be? The poor boy has just been abandoned by his mother, and now his own father doesn’t need him?
– I need him! Do not say that! It’s just that the woman is going through a difficult period. As soon as everything settles down, I’ll take my son back.
– Fine, leave the child. Your wife doesn’t love him anyway.
– Thank you, sister!
The sister was also married and was on maternity leave with her little son, who was one year old at the time. The husband took the boy, he did not understand the inhumanity of his parents, so he treated his wife’s nephew as his own son.
Soon the couple had a daughter. The man visited his sister and son less and less, completely immersed in his new family. Over time, the boy stopped calling him dad. When the boy was three years old, the sister called her brother for a serious conversation.
– A year has passed since the boy lives with us. Has your wife not come to her senses yet?
– Well, all right, then. I send you money for the child. And my son has grown used to you.
– Yes, you secretly send money from your wife… – my sister indignantly replied.
– Don’t betray me, – the brother answered, lowering his eyes.
– The child needs to be registered in kindergarten. I will also soon go to work. What do you want me to do? So here’s what, either you take the child, or write a refusal and we will adopt him.
– Okay…
– What’s okay? What is your decision? – my sister asked in a confused voice
– I will write a refusal …
Soon it happened. The brother wrote a refusal from the child, and the sister and her husband adopted him and brought him up as their own. He did not know that they were not his real parents, and even more so did not suspect that his uncle was his real father.
– Hi uncle. – Opening the door, the boy saw his uncle on the threshold.
– Hello. Is mom home?
– Yes, she’s home, good, come on! I’m off to practice.
– Hi. – The brother greeted his sister in an anxious voice.
– Hi, brother. Have you come again to tell me how your soul aches? I do not intend to listen about your sadness for your son, it was exclusively your choice. You can’t turn back time.
– I wish I knew how it would turn out in the future. I’m all alone now. My wife left me. My daughter doesn’t reach out to me at all. Can I spend more time with my son? I know I owe it to my son. Let me make it up to him.
– Do you want to tell him everything? – my sister asked indignantly.
– No, he won’t want to know me at all.
The sister did not interfere with their communication.
When the boy returned from the army, he was amazed by what he saw. Uncle gave him a brand new car.
– Uncle, you are undoubtedly the best uncle in the world, but I cannot accept such an expensive gift.
The man started to cry. He hugged the boy and then said the following:
– Please accept this gift, I have always dreamed of a son. And it was you who replaced him for me. I will be very upset if you refuse.
The boy still accepted the gift, told everyone what a good uncle he had. He understood that he had no right to destroy his son’s habitual consciousness. And how would he behave if he found out the truth. The man was afraid to lose communication with his son, so he was content with what he had.
