In the early morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I cried on the sofa at home, and my wife sat silently in front of the coffee table, full of helplessness and sadness. Recalling the scene of our daughter's hurried departure three days ago, our hearts are even heavier. She only stayed at home for three days, and we had a few reunion dinners together before leaving in a hurry. When I sent her to the station, tears couldn't stop flowing, and this year was really sad.
Over the past year, my daughter has experienced a lot of setbacks. My wife and I are both 60 years old and used to be employees of a state-owned enterprise. Although the work is average, most of our children have been admitted to prestigious universities, and some have even stayed in first-tier cities and embarked on the road to success. But the trajectory of her daughter's life is not satisfactory.
After graduating, my daughter had a lot of work experience, but she didn't find her own position. She has a gentle personality, filial piety and considerateness, but her grades are mediocre. Still, we have hope that she will find a good home. However, fate dealt her a heavy blow.
A relationship, four years of cohabitation, finally ended with the man's decision. The daughter fell into great pain after the breakup, quit her job and started a life of wandering. She was depressed for a while, but then she seemed to find a glimmer of relief and decided to study on her own and find a new way out of life.
However, despite her daughter's attempts to escape the pain, she still cannot escape the pressure of the outside world when she returns to her hometown. Faced with inquiries from relatives and neighbors, her daughter felt embarrassed and helpless, and chose to avoid this embarrassment. My wife and I don't care what other people think, but my daughter does, she feels that her life is a mess and she doesn't know how to deal with these people's interrogations.
We feel distressed and helpless for our daughter's situation. She was not working well, her relationship was frustrated, and we couldn't give much help and advice in the face of uncertainty about her marriage and future. We are in a deep rut and don't know what to do.
What do you think about such a situation? How do you think we can help our daughter? Do you have any suggestions or opinions? Looking forward to your comments and sharing!
