With the arrival of Max into our family, everything changed dramatically. Before I married him, he seemed like a very humble and nice guy who does everything for my daughter. He looked after her beautifully, giving her huge bouquets of roses even in the coldest of times. The proposal he proposed to her was also very beautiful, and the wedding itself was gorgeous. They did not spare any money, in general. And from then on, while they lived in a rented apartment, they did not deny themselves anything.
From the first day we met, I didn’t notice the obvious – Max is a real proprietor. He took our daughter away from us and does not want to let her go. It’s not that he was jealous, but with his selfishness he set some limits that no one had a right to go beyond.
We have a family tradition, according to which we always celebrate the New Year together in our house, and before that we cut a huge bowl of vegetables and sausage for the olivier. My daughter has always willingly participated, but for three years now, since we got married, she and Max have always had “other plans. We used to have a tradition of going to the same cottage at the beginning of August, to people we had known for more than twenty years, but Max said that going abroad was much better and he wanted to live in a normal hotel, not in a “crooked cottage with spiders in all the corners”.
He alone decides in their family, considering some of his ideas and rules, and letting our traditions pass him by. His daughter goes along with him, since he doesn’t want to spend time with us, and she can’t leave him alone. As a result, she agrees to everything he says. We are going to lose our daughter and our bond with her. A new family is good, but we should not forget the old one, nor should we discard the old traditions that make us all a little happier.
