My daughter married a citizen of another country. I lived with them for two years, taking care of my grandson and running the household.
My daughter and her husband worked at the same company and returned only in the evening. I hoped that this would continue, but it turned out to be in vain. One day my spouse told me they didn’t need my services anymore and asked me to leave the apartment. A month later I was at my house. As it turned out, I was not welcome here either. While I was staying with my daughter, my son had separated from his first wife, left her the apartment, and he came to live in mine.
He also brought his second wife, who was already pregnant. He didn’t think to ask my permission. What should I do? Throw my son out with his pregnant wife? No? But how do the three of us, and soon the four of us, live in a one-room apartment? By the way, neither my son nor I have the money to rent an apartment. I called my daughter and explained the situation. I hoped that they would recognize my situation and invite me back to their place. But they didn’t. It is a shame. It can’t be helped, they have a different view of the world…
And my son’s behavior is understandable. He did not expect my return. And now I have to sleep on the couch in the kitchen. I leave the house during the day. I go shopping, I visit my colleagues. My son and wife communicate normally, no scandals, but my daughter-in-law ignores me. It is obvious that she does not like my person in the apartment. I never imagined that at the age of sixty I would be superfluous, and someone else would be in charge of my house. My son only thinks about his pregnant wife and doesn’t think about the apartment problem at all.
I am looking for a part-time job and want to manage my own apartment. The new matchmakers live in the village. Should I tell my daughter-in-law to go live with her parents? But will my son be able to find a job there? I don’t think so. I can’t decide what to do…
