At 65, I can’t say I’m unhappy, even though I’ve lived alone for the past 20 years. Initially, it was tough, and I felt lonely. My children were a great support; they visited often with their families, sharing their lives with me. During those visits, time seemed to fly by

In our family, the women have always been on the heavier side. Mom always said it was genetics. Biscuits, fried chicken, and donuts – it was all about the food. When I was little, I didn’t think much of it. As a teenager, I realized something had to change. “You’ll eat what I cook. Don’t set a bad example for your younger sister. Stop…”

My mom and I went through a tough time when I was 15. My dad left us for another woman, and we had to live with them under the same roof for a year. Eventually, my mom found the courage to kick them out, but we faced new challenges. I had to focus on school and prepare for my future, but my mom’s disapproval of my fiancé has made everything even harder.
My beloved son lived with us in the countryside until he was 25. My husband and I are originally from the city, but we moved to a rural area to escape the hustle and bustle and embrace a simpler life. John, of course, graduated from college and is now a successful software engineer. From his childhood, we tried to give him all our love because he is our only child. However, things took a turn when he got married
For years, I endured living under my mother-in-law’s roof, constantly bending to her will. My ex-husband tried to assert himself as the head of the family. Now, post-divorce, they are manipulating my son against me and my new partner.
