I don't like my parents because they left me alone | My Story Animated

hi my name is MIA I will write this story to you because it is very difficult for me to speak now I'm still recovering from the betrayal that my parents committed a few years ago after this incident I stopped talking literally I was speechless and only now I'm slowly coming to myself it happened when I was 12 we were just a usual family my parents earned as much as they could all their lives we have no relatives in this city so we relied on ourselves yes life was difficult and there were times when we only ate bread the father and mother do everything they can take any job my father in addition to his regular work managed to be a porter in the evenings until late night my mother as a cleaner and I spent all my adult life with my grandmother I can't say that I was happy with her my grandmother was very grumpy she was always yelling at everyone at me and my parents she often called her daughter my mother a badass and reproached for any action sometimes I would see my mom cry about it and my dad just get mad in silence and everyone in the family was unhappy but no one said it aloud as for me I went to school and tried to study well yes my head is in all subjects but even the grades didn't lift my mother's spirits it seemed to me that all the problems in the house were due to me alone one day there was hope for a better future my parents were offered to go abroad to work it would be alright but I had to leave with my grandmother here I couldn't believe they would decide that knowing her character and how she felt about me I was so offended that my fate was determined without asking me my father and mother began to actively make documents and look for money they hugged me goodbye and told me they would pick me up soon I waited every day all that's left is my mother's old jacket in the hall of the house I went to her and hugged her and hailed her mother smell but over time it began to disappear as expected we found it difficult to get along with granny there was not even a day went by without shouts and reproaches at me when I gave her glasses at the wrong time she would get angry what took so long where are my glasses you can't even do that left your parents you are my neck always shouted at me at this point I stood and listened to the reproaches and when my grandmother fell asleep I lay hugging my mother's jacket and crying every time someone rang the doorbell I ran to answer it hoping that they were my parents but no they weren't I began to shut down into myself slide through school lost all my friends went straight home after school otherwise there was no avoiding screams I talked less and less with people and kept more and more silent life with granny was more like a dark mood in the morning getting up cooking breakfast going to school then home lunch cooking dinner lessons going to bed every night before going to bed I waited for a call from them but before going to bed as always I hugged my mother's jacket I took her to my room so it seemed to me that they were close a year passed there was no call I didn't know if they were still alive my grandmother and I almost stopped communicating she spends her days watching TV and I was doing other jobs the ritual with the jacket faded into the background and I hung it in the closet and did not get it out they won't come back grandma once said it's been five years she added and stared at the TV again it hurt to hear that and I didn't want to believe it they probably didn't call because they couldn't but I knew for sure that very soon they would save up money and come for me as promised well buy a small house no matter where and the three of us will live together we're family aren't we look your mother my eyes widened and shocked my cup of tea fell from my hands to the floor and my heart was pounding my chest my mother was on TV she gave interviews to journalists about her success story how she came as a migrant and opened her small business a coffee in a foreign country the press asked how far she had come and then asked if her family was helping her I don't have a family she blurted out at that moment I felt as if I had been hit on the head grandma turned off the TV and laughed out loud she left louder and louder as if gloating I ran out of the house reached the neighbors of the street sat down by a tree and began to sob yes I have so many questions over the years but soon I got answers I just found this coffee shop on the internet wrote down the phone numbers and called my mother was silent for a long time and then began to justify herself she told how father cheated on her almost immediately after arriving she kicked him out of the house and has not heard from him since and she didn't call me because at first she didn't have money then time everything so spun spun and flew five years she said that she missed me that she wanted to take me home and start a good new life no you didn't miss me I told her and hung up those were my last words she called a couple more times but I didn't answer I just took her jacket out of the closet and burned it they betrayed me both of them a year later I buried my grumpy grandmother well then I heard rumors that they both started their own new families my father never had the heart to talk to me my mother came to settle the paperwork with my grandmother's house by that time I had already graduated from school and was working my meeting with her was not at all what I had imagined in my head before all this she felt ashamed and confused she begged fell on her knees begged for forgiveness I never said a word and she left why couldn't I forgive her you know I could put it all down to the fact that she and father went away to earn money for me to invest in my future to make our life better but this is not the case they simply did not love me each other I realized that they really left to leave seizing on a small chance to start life again they initially did not plan to return here for me understanding in absentia that they would disperse so it is not poverty or distance that destroys the family it is the absence of love that destroys the family and only that so I never forgave her and I never will for not loving me hey my name is Monica I know firsthand what poverty is we were so poor that we could not afford anything extra a birthday celebration for example with the caking gifts but one day everything changed or rather we changed everything there are four of us in the family dad mom brother and me my parents worked as teachers my father at the University my mother at school we lived modestly but as our father said honestly he and my mother were very decent people and demanded the same from my brother in me dad is convinced that money earned by honest work is much more important than the other way around we didn't complain even though we were poor sometimes I envied some guys which have big and beautiful house dogs pool in the yard as have some my classmates each of them had their own room the girls went shopping they often called me but I refused saying that I was not feeling well I think they understood the real reason though they didn't show it I was very happy that they were all very good guys and did not look at the financial situation my little brother always asked me what my dream was and I said I wanted to grow up and get a good job so I could earn a decent living and I also wanted to send him to a talent show by the way did I tell you that my little brother Michael can sing really well we asked him almost every night to sing us something after dinner Michael especially loved the classics and always wanted to participate in a talent show once he even took a camera from his friend recorded the video there and sent it to that program he passed the selection he was invited to come to participate but we were poor so there was no money for the trip I was proud of him and wanted to help with all my heart so I started knitting children's clothes and selling them online but I didn't have enough money to go half the way one evening we all got together again after dinner dinner was beans and broccoli again I hated them they were rather boring but they were cheap products and as my mother liked to say useful I watched as we ate small portions that is with maximum economy the table seemed almost empty traditionally after everyone had eaten Mikey sing us another song you should have heard him sing sensuously he closes his eyes and feels the song Michael always sings with soul and it was magic he loved to sing more than anything in the world my mother said dreamily that if he had been on a talent show he would have won after loud applause the parents discussed the news of the day told each other funny stories with students and then dad said that today one of them did not prepare for an important exam in his subject and could not pass the test his father sent him for a retake and told him to come back in a week and the student said that this test was the last and in a week he had to fly to Europe for a vacation he said that if he did not pass the exam well his parents would not let him go on vacation and this was the dream of his life I told him to prepare better and he said you see he doesn't have time for this and then he takes out his wallet and asks how much I didn't understand what it was about and then I saw that he was offering me a bribe can you imagine my father said then according to him he escorted this insolent student out of the door and told him not to approach him with such a proposal again then he began to lament that now students have become quite lazy that is easier for them to buy everything with someone else's money I will say right away I shared my father's opinion about honest earnings fully supported their point of view but today when I looked at our modest dinner in a different way at my brother who again pleased us with his favorite song something turned me over it's like I don't want to put up with what we have anymore I could feel my anger rising maybe at least once in your life you should take a bribe so that at least your son will fulfill his dream and get on with this show I blurted out to my father my parents were taken aback by my audacity to say such a thing and by the fact that such a thing had occurred to me the indignant father got up from the table and said that he was ashamed of such a daughter I of course burst into tears at these words and went out into the street with a madman slam the door and roared on at this moment my classmate Nick was passing by and he asked what was wrong I didn't want to tell I was embarrassed to share my problems with someone even though we'd been friends since elementary school I'd never shared anything like this with him but he sat next to me for a long time until I call him down and then finally got me to talk to him Nick called me stupid for not asking for help and offered to make money by hosting a concert with my brother let him use his talent and earning his way to another city and participate in the show suggested Nick the idea was quite simple but we needed the help of other guys to do it Nick as promised took care of everything and classmates also helped a few days later a music concert was held at the huge mansion of Nick's cousin Sarah to raise funds for Mikey my generous classmates helped organize a mini stage make cool lighting a buffet for guests and seating it was like a dream I couldn't believe it was really happening Michael when he heard this news was very happy he prepared a whole repertoire for the evening took his favorite guitar and went out to sing I watched the reaction of people it seems that he managed to involve the guests in his special mood at the end everyone gave us standing ovations our parents also came there of course my father wanted to apologize for the fact that his life principles made the family starve I will not take dishonest money but I can give private lessons thereby earning more he said and hugged me my father finally realized that the principles of life are important but we must not allow people to live only by them to please themselves in to the detriment of others that was enough I was happy well it's been about a month since then my father and I hurriedly cooked steaks for dinner while I washed fruit and made salad on this day we had a special occasion we were waiting for mom and Mikey they were about to arrive from New York oh yes you don't know Mikey won the talent show
