Sun Xiaoming is 10 years old this year and has a lively and cheerful personality, his mother Sun Li is a gentle and virtuous person, while his father Zhang Li often gets angry for no reason because of his bad temper. Every time he came home from school, Sun Xiaoming had to carefully push the door in so as not to anger his father.
Dad doesn't like the noisy at home the most, Sun Xiaoming can only sneak to his room to play, not daring to upset his father. Mom is Xi to her father's temper, and she always greets her with a smile, for fear that she will be scolded by her father if she is not careful. Late last night, Sun Xiaoming once again witnessed his father's vexatious scene. That night, he was snuggling up in the quilt and scrolling on his mobile phone to watch **, and his mother was washing dishes in the kitchen.
Suddenly, there was a big roar from my father downstairs: "Sun Li, you are stealing my things again!" Still trying to hide it from me?! Sun Xiaoming was startled, and hurriedly ran to the door to look downstairs. I saw that my mother was trembling, and my father was carrying an empty cake box in one hand, and the other hand was already raised and ready to hit someone. "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Mom took a step back in fear and whispered.
If you're wrong, you dare to eat it! If I let you eat it, you will eat it? You didn't succeed, didn't you? Dad yelled and slapped Mom in the face. Sun Xiaoming was stunned, covered his mouth, and watched his mother being knocked to the ground. A large handprint had swollen on her face, and blood was running from the corner of her mouth. "Zhang Li, calm down, can't I apologize, why do you hit someone! Mom pleaded as she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
You deserve to be beaten! "Dad yelled angrily, then kicked Mom. I was so frightened that tears flowed uncontrollably. But I didn't have the courage to speak out, so I could only hide behind the door and watch shivering. Suddenly, Dad kicked Mom again, and the kick made her bleed, and the bright red blood ran across her cheeks.
Grandma, Mommy She's Bleeding, Daddy Kicks Her Bleeding! "I couldn't hold back anymore and sobbed and dialed my grandmother's **. "Xiao Ming, what's going on? "Grandma's voice came through **. "Grandmother. "I choked up and couldn't speak. "Xiao Ming, don't be afraid, grandma is coming over! "Grandma's anxious voice came, and she hung up.
I knew my grandmother would find a way to stop my father, but I was still scared. Mom was already lying in a pool of blood, and Dad was still attacking her. I held my phone tightly, my palms were sweaty, and my heart was beating fast. I wanted to rush down to protect my mother, but I was too small to fight my father.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise downstairs, and I was startled, so I looked down. I saw my father pick up a stool and smash it at my mother! "Don't fight! Please! Mom cried out in pain. I saw that my mother was already lying in a pool of blood and struggling, but my father was unwavering.
At this time, the door was suddenly smashed open, and the grandmother rushed in with a few strange uncles. "Stop! Call the police if you hit me again! Grandma shouted. It turned out that the grandmother not only came over by herself, but also called the neighbors to help. Several uncles stepped forward to stop Dad and finally stopped him.
Mom was unconscious, and Grandma knelt down to check on her injuries. "Fortunately, there is a neighbor uncle with a similar blood type who can have a blood transfusion, otherwise it will be dangerous to bleed too much. Grandma said as she wiped her tears. With the help of my grandmother and aunts and uncles, my mother was taken to the hospital. Dad was also taken to the police station to deal with it.
I followed my grandmother to the hospital, and my heart hurt very much when I looked at my mother lying on the hospital bed on a drip. Mom's face was covered with wounds, and her arms were covered with thick bandages.
Mom, are you okay? I asked softly. Mom smiled weakly, "Don't worry, Xiao Ming. "The tension is too much, beating your wife like this! Grandma said indignantly, "I must make him pay!" "I know that every time my dad hit my mom, he would apologize to my mom, and then my mom would forgive him, and everything would go back to square one.
But this time is different, grandma will definitely handle this matter clearly. The next day, Dad was released and went home. As soon as he entered, his grandmother sat solemnly on the sofa and waited for him. "Zhang Li, you've gone too far this time! Grandma said sternly, "If you do this kind of domestic violence again, I will report you to the police station and let you taste the consequences!" "Mom, I know it's wrong. I promise that I will never beat Sun Li in the future. ”
Dad seemed to be calmed down by Grandma's tough attitude, and his tone softened. "What's the use of guarantees, haven't you promised them before? In the end, it's not about hitting people again and again! Grandma didn't eat him, "This time I have already recorded the process of your domestic violence, if you dare to beat someone again, I will send it to the police station immediately!" ”
When I heard this, my heart was overjoyed. It turned out that grandma had been prepared and recorded the process of father's domestic violence, and now my father couldn't quibble anymore.
Over the next few days, Dad's behavior changed dramatically. He not only visited his mother in the hospital in person, but also took the initiative to take on various chores at home. When his mother came home, he also behaved very considerate and gentle. Mom and I were relieved that Grandma's tough attitude finally made Dad rein in a bit.
Then a few days later, when I came home from school and opened the door, I was blown away by what I saw. I saw my father sitting on the sofa, and my mother was lying on his lap, and she was being beaten by him. "Zhang Li, I really know that I was wrong, you spare me! Mom pleaded. "I said you can't eat my stuff a long time ago, you just don't have a long memory! Dad said as he raised his slap and hit him hard.
I immediately rushed forward and hugged my mother: "Dad, what are you doing?" Didn't you promise your grandmother not to beat your mother? "Get out of the way! Sun Li must be punished, this is a matter between our husband and wife! "Dad roughly pulled me aside and continued to beat Mom. "No, help! Mom cried out in pain. However, I couldn't stop my dad and could only watch my mom be abused again.
Suddenly, the door was violently kicked open. Grandma rushed in with the police, and Dad stopped. It turned out that Mom had stolen Dad's stuff again, which sparked Dad's anger. However, Dad's beating is unacceptable. Under the accusations of the grandmother, the father was eventually taken away by the police. My mother and I hugged each other tightly and wept silently. Dad couldn't have come home easily this time. We were finally able to live a peaceful life again.
After Dad was taken to the police station, we all breathed a sigh of relief. Grandma comforted her mother and told her that she must actively cooperate with this matter and that she could no longer forgive her father. "Sun Li, this time we must take Zhang Zhang to court so that he can get the punishment he deserves. Grandma said solemnly. "Mom, I know. Mom nodded with red eyes. "Xiao Ming, you have to remember that violence is wrong. In the future, you must learn to live in peace with others, discuss things well, and not move your hands and feet. "Grandma told me.
I got my grandmother. I also learned to nod. In the days that followed, my mother formally filed a complaint with the court against my father's repeated domestic violence. With the help of her grandmother and lawyer, she collected all kinds of evidence, including the hospital certificate of the beating, the ** who was injured in the past, and the ** that her grandmother recorded witnessing the beating.
In court, I was called as a witness to state the fact that my father had repeatedly committed violence against my mother, revealing his domestic violence. In the end, due to the conclusive evidence, the father could not defend himself and was sentenced to prison by the court for domestic violence. Grandma excitedly said to us, "We won!" Mom said with relief: "Great, Dad finally got the punishment he deserved, and we can live a normal life in the future." ”
I am so happy for my mom because she has been living in the shadow of her father's violence for many years, and this time she is finally free. After my father was sentenced, I often visited him and advised him to reflect on his mistakes as soon as possible. "Dad, you should realize your mistake sooner. I said.
It was Dad who did something wrong, and I will definitely correct it in the future. Dad said guiltily. I hope that this time in prison will make my father really know how to respect others and solve problems with reason rather than violence.
Dad became reticent after he was released from prison, but he sincerely apologized to my mom and me and promised not to use violence again. I believe he will keep his promise and become a better person. Now, Mom has started a new life. She signed up for a cooking training course to fill her spare time.
She also began to wear beautiful clothes and light makeup, exuding a confident glow. Every time I see my mother in good spirits, I am sincerely proud of her. I also try my best to learn Xi, and I want to grow up to be a gentle and considerate person who protects my beloved. I always remind myself not to repeat my father's mistakes. The storms of life will always pass, and the sunshine will come. I firmly believe that my mother and I will have a better tomorrow.
After Dad was released from prison, he took the initiative to contact some professionals and wanted to ** his violent tendencies. He started attending counseling and family correction classes, which had a positive impact on him. Once, my dad came to visit my mom and me. "Sun Li, Xiao Ming, I really regret what I did before.
From now on, I will be a good man who is gentle and rational and loves his family. Can you give me a chance to mend my ways? Dad said sincerely. Mom pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "I believe that people change." Now that you're aware of the problem and are actively correcting it, I can give you a chance. "I also expressed my support for my father to become a new person.
Since then, Dad has started coming home regularly to reunite with us. He bought flowers for my mother, bought books for me, and did everything he could to make us happy. Gradually, we felt his determination to change. At a party, there was an episode that tested Dad. While we were eating, my mother accidentally knocked over the bowl and the soup spilled on my father. In the past, this must have made Dad angry.
But, to my surprise, my dad just picked up a napkin and wiped it, then smiled and said to Mom, "It's okay, I can change my clothes." Let's keep eating. "Mom and I were relieved that Dad had successfully passed this little test. Since then, Dad has often come over to eat and chat with us. We slowly built new family relationships.
One day, my dad said to my mom and me with a serious look, "I want to apologize to you two again. Over the years, my violence has caused you great harm. If I could go back to the past, I would definitely control my temper and give you a warm and peaceful home. "Dad, I forgive you. "I offered him a hug.
I don't hold a grudge against you anymore. Mom nodded. "Let's start over and form a harmonious family. Dad had tears in his eyes.
From that day on, Mom asked Dad to move back home, and we started trying to rebuild this broken home. Dad continued to try to control his emotions and learn to be friendly with people. Although on several occasions he was so angry with his colleagues and neighbors that he blushed and had a thick neck, he would take a deep breath, count to ten, and calmly deal with the problem. One day, a salesman forcibly rang the doorbell to sell a product, and Dad rejected him outright, but remained polite.
Seeing such a father, I sincerely feel that he is getting better and better. Now, Mom will take the initiative to discuss family matters with Dad, and Dad will also help Mom with household chores, often taking the initiative to wash dishes and clean. We are like an ordinary family of three, living together in harmony and joy. I believe that as long as we understand each other and live openly, we will be able to survive the ups and downs and rebuild a beautiful and warm home.
Time flies, and we have spent year after year, growing in an atmosphere of harmony and joy. As I grew up**, I was admitted to the university of my choice. I will never forget that on the day of the college entrance examination results, my father was the first to call to congratulate me. "Son, you have been admitted to the university of your dreams, and I am extremely proud of you! Dad said excitedly. My eyes lit up as I listened, and I felt the power of my father's love.
When I went to college, my dad used to mail some groceries and snacks to my dorm. My classmates envy me for having such a father who loves me. "Come home and see your mother often, she must miss you alone. "That's what my dad told me all the time. I nodded and decided to go home every weekend to spend time with my mom.
When I got home, I noticed a visible wound on the back of my mother's hand. I asked her with concern what was going on, but she hid her hand in a panic and said that she had accidentally cut vegetables. Something was wrong with me and it didn't feel like it was that simple. On the way home, I noticed that my dad was behaving strangely, and he avoided me, consciously or unconsciously, in stark contrast to his usual enthusiasm.
Later, I secretly asked my grandmother about it. My grandmother hesitated for a long time, but finally told me the truth. It turned out that Dad had been under a lot of pressure at work recently and often lost his temper. Last week, he found fault with his mother and smashed her vase with his hands. But for the sake of Dad's newly rebuilt image, Mom didn't let Grandma meddle in the matter. When I heard the news, my heart was wrenching, was the harmonious life we had re-established about to end?
When I got back to school, I took a leave of absence early and decided to go straight to my dad for a confrontation. The moment he saw me, my father's face suddenly became ugly. "Son, why are you here? He tried to put on a smile. "Dad, I know you're hitting mom again. I had a direct showdown, "You don't want to ruin our rebuilt family relationship, okay?" ”
A hint of panic flashed across Dad's face, but he quickly pretended to be calm again. "Son, who did you listen to? Why am I going to hit your mom again? I said with red eyes, "I thought you had really changed!" But now it seems that a domestic violence man is very difficult to change, right? "I saw my father's body tremble violently, and the expression on his face finally collapsed. "Son, it's Dad who did it wrong. ”
He looked away, his voice shaking, "I can't help but lose my temper again when I have a setback at work during this time, but I swear it's just an exception. There are no exceptions! I interrupted him, "Dad, I don't want to trust someone who has never been able to control myself. This time, I won't forgive you again. With that, I left without looking back.
Later, with the encouragement of my grandmother, my mother re-filed a lawsuit against my father for domestic violence. And this time, I didn't excuse my father again, and my testimony was completely direct about his atrocities. In the end, the court ruled that Dad was once again in prison. I also cut off contact with him, and he just disappeared from my life without a trace. My mother later met a kind man and remarried, and I gradually grew up** and started a family.
The painful memories of life will eventually be diluted by time. We all deserve to live happily ever after. I am always glad that I finally chose to protect my mother, and I also protected myself, and did not fall into the abyss of violence again.
Time flies and I am married and have a lovely daughter. One day, my wife told me, "Honey, your dad called you **, and he said he wanted to meet you and his granddaughter." "I was very surprised because I hadn't been in contact with him for many years and I thought he had passed away. It turned out that he had been living in another city since he was released from prison, and he came to see me this time.
My wife asked me, "Do you want to see him?" I hesitated. Dad's violent behavior had hurt me tremendously, but over the years, I felt empowered to face the traumatic past. "Okay, let him come. I said. Soon, an old man with gray hair, a wrinkled face, and a staggering gait came to my house. He was no longer the majestic middle-aged man he remembered, but he looked very weak.
He looked at me and said, "Son, I'm old, and I may not have a few days to live." This time, I just want to see you and my granddaughter one last time, and also give you a sincere apology, and then leave, it won't disturb your life. "My heart hurts, although he has caused me harm, but blood is thicker than water, he is my biological father after all.
Don't talk about that, let's meet your granddaughter first. "I asked the father to pick up my daughter,"Baby, your name is Grandpa. "I was touched by the scene of the father gently teasing his granddaughter. This kind old man has completely changed. "Son, I fell into the abyss of violence and anger because of the frustrations in my work and life, I shouldn't have hurt you and your mother, I'm sorry. "My father said to me with tears in his eyes.
Dad, I don't mind the past. "I couldn't help but redden. Our father and son hugged each other tightly and wept bitterly. I feel that the burden in my heart has finally been let go, and our relationship has been completely **. "Let's cherish the present and the future. "I said to my father.
The father nodded, a relieved smile on his face. Later, my father and my family had a pleasant and warm time. I also took him to visit his mom and grandma. We confided in each other a lot, letting the misunderstandings and pains of the past disappear without a trace. I realized how touching it is to look at a changed person with tolerance and compassion.
When I was growing up, my dad used to play the role of a tyrant and cast a shadow on me. However, in his later years, he tried to play the role of a good repentant father, which made me deeply feel his hard work and dedication. I can't dismiss him for the rest of his life because of his past, because everyone has the potential to change and grow.
The passing of my father made me cherish every moment with my family even more, and the warmth and love he gave me made me feel extremely happy. Even though he had a painful experience for me, that experience shaped my character today and made me stronger and more optimistic. There will always be difficulties and challenges in life, but as long as we keep hope, we will be able to find a way forward.
Now, I have a happy family, and every morning, I give my kids a big hug, talk and laugh with them, and then kiss them on the forehead before they go to school. While perfection may not exist, hope and tolerance exist in our hearts. That's enough for me and I'm going to cherish what I have and keep going.
I often ask myself how relieved and touched my dad would be if he could see how well I was doing. At work, I maintain a friendly relationship with my colleagues, and even when there is a dispute, I put myself in the other person's shoes and discuss solutions calmly, never acting impulsively. My colleagues say I'm an empathetic listener. I often think that if my dad saw me like this, he would be proud of me.
In the process, I am deeply grateful for the little things in life. I'm grateful that my dad finally chose to turn back and gave us the opportunity to repair our relationship. I am grateful to my mother for not giving up and always giving me hope and happiness. I'm thankful that I eventually learned to be tolerant and understanding. In the journey of life, it is normal to go through thick and thin. We just need to remember the experience, become wiser, continue to move forward with courage and love, and eventually we will walk towards the light.
Perhaps, we are all just trying to play our respective roles. Play the big drama of life until the shadow curtain slowly falls. When I come to the last scene of my life, I will turn around and smile at the reflection of life, without regret or fear. Because I know that I have played this role called "me" with all my heart. I do my best to love, to understand, to live. That's enough.
