When a widow became pregnant, my son's reaction broke me
My name is Li Xue and I am 48 years old. Fifteen years ago, my husband passed away suddenly, and since then I have been a widow and have been taking on the responsibility of caring for my son on my own, doing my best to make him forget the pain of losing his father.
However, fate brought me an unexpected surprise when I was unprepared - I was pregnant. The news surprised and troubled me at the same time, after all, I am 48 years old and the decision to become a mother again was not easy for me.
However, my deep desire for motherly love made me willing to accept this challenge. I decided to tell my son the news. When I told him about this unexpected pregnancy, I thought he would be as full of joy and anticipation as I was.
However, I didn't expect him to react like this. He looked at me expressionlessly, and then said coldly, "Are you crazy?" Do you still have children at your age? You're doing our whole family a disservice! ”
His words were like a knife that pierced my heart deeply. In the past 15 years, I have silently paid to take care of his growth and create a happy family for him, and he actually treated me in this way.
I was devastated. A few days later, I still couldn't calm the pain in my heart. I knew that his attitude might be due to fear and incomprehension, so I decided to find him and talk to him properly, hoping that he would understand my decision and my love for him.
In the corner of the café, we met. I stared into my son's indifferent eyes, took a deep breath, and began my story. I told him that even though I was his mother, I had the right to pursue my own happiness.
I explained that the child was an accident, but he was also a life, and I couldn't bear to give him up. I admit that I understand that my decision is risky and difficult, but that doesn't change my love for him.
I noticed that my son's expression gradually softened, and he began to understand my pain and inner struggle. He let go of his previous indifference and quietly listened to me tell the whole story.
I saw understanding and concern in his eyes. When I spoke of my love for him, I saw that his eyes were moist. He suddenly stood up, walked over to me, and hugged me tightly.
At that moment, I felt the love and understanding that came into his embrace. Mom, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was so selfish and didn't take into account your feelings and rights.
This child is my younger brother or sister, and no matter what kind of beginning, we should give him a great future. There was sincerity and regret in his voice.
I wiped away my tears and held his hand tightly. "Thank you for your understanding, and I know this is a huge shift for you as well. We will face many challenges, but I believe we can get through them together.
You are a kind and mature child, and you will be a great older brother. From that day on, the relationship between me and my son changed. He took the initiative to participate in the preparation of the arrival of the child and shared many of the household chores and taking care of the family for me.
He became a responsible young man whose heart was filled with anticipation and love for his younger brother or sister. As time went on, my belly grew bigger and the anticipation of our family grew stronger.
Every night, we would get together and talk about the baby that was coming. My son often kisses my stomach and talks to my brother or sister, and his face is filled with an indescribable happiness and joy.
An unexpected pregnancy changed the trajectory of my life at the age of 48. I thought that loneliness would always be with me, but the arrival of this new life has brought endless love and happiness.
When I saw my son holding his little sister, the softness and love in his eyes, I knew that this was a new beginning for us. My son and I take care of this little life together, we share happiness, face difficulties together, and grow together.
