Lech is a two-meter man with piercing blue eyes. 14 years ago, he took his daughter from his ex-wife. He sued and is now educating. It was a beautiful and noble step, which, in fact, Lekha was inspired by his mother. He himself would hardly have decided on this, as well as giving money to his ex-wife Nastya so that at the trial she would agree to give up her daughter. Nastya was a bad mother, changed men, did not work, all this was written on her face, and the court easily took two-year-old Liza from her and handed it over to Lekha.
And since then, Lyokha has been excitedly telling her almost all of Lizina’s life that her mother is a whore, abandoned her, exchanged her for a wild life. She especially likes to emphasize that she has a bad heredity, therefore, she says, you, Lizaveta, must be kept in a tight rein, otherwise the maternal genes will wake up.
As soon as Lisa began her period, which happened at the age of 11, her father stopped letting her go to children’s camps for the summer. There was no need to guess whether these facts were connected or not. Lech said everything to his daughter aloud.
«Yeah, sure,» he said. — Just let you go to the camp now, return from there, bring the child in the hem.
No, there is some fraction of truth, tiny, in his words. Nastya, a dissolute mother, really matured early and gave birth to her first child at 14 from an unknown father. Liza, with this early development, really went to her mother, so at 12 she looked at all 16.
And when guests come and say the traditional “Oh, Liza, how you have grown!”, Lech picks up:
— Yeah, she grew up, she even shaves herself something there. Carrying a razor from his mother. What are you doing there, tell us?
The guests are dumbfounded by dad’s shamelessness, Lisa blushes and runs out of the room, Lech alone does not feel any awkwardness.
If Lisa doesn’t study well, it’s her mother’s genes. If she doesn’t want to do something around the house, she is lazy, “all like a mother”
The mother Lekha is talking about is his second wife, Larisa. Larisa does not love Lisa, and, to tell the truth, she does not love Lekha either. But they live and live. Dad and Larisa are sure that Lisa is doing something secret on social networks. They use the simple “Come on, get up from the computer!” they scour Lizin’s VKontakte under her own login, and if SOMETHING is found there, Lisa will hear again about her vicious genes and about the whore mother, they will take away her phone and forbid her to go to the computer. If Lisa doesn’t study well, it’s her mother’s genes. If she doesn’t want to do something around the house, she is lazy, “all like a mother.”
One day, mother Nastya took up her mind, got a permanent man, got a job, and she got money. She met with Lisa, choosing the classic female path — shopping — to build relationships. She bought her daughter fashionable shoes and a skirt, and Lisa concluded that her mother, whom she had not seen for many years, loved her. Lisa remembers that mother’s love is not hugs, not care, not emotional warmth, not presence. Mom’s love is buying things, which means love is things.
Somehow, a miracle happens in the life of 12-year-old Lisa: an aunt from St. Petersburg invites her to visit. As usual, before the trip you need to dress up the child. Lekha calls Nastya about this, and she says: “Alexey, right now I don’t have any money.” Lyokha hangs up and complains to Lisa: “That’s how your mother loves you, she can’t even buy clothes for you in St. Petersburg, her daughter is going to people for the first time, and her mother has no money for her.”
Sending the girl to her sister, Lekha previously called there and kept saying: “You are there, let her eat less, let her lose weight.” Lekha is embarrassed because Liza is a large and tall girl (in fact, she is all in him, in a two-meter big man).
Lekha complains to everyone that she has to sit with Liza and do her homework, that she herself is lazy and incapable. The wise Lekhin’s sister, with whom he consults, tells him that the child thus receives the attention of his father, which he cannot receive in any other way. But Lech brushes aside and repeats about laziness and mother’s genes. His sister asks him a reasonable question: where then are your 50 percent of genes — beautiful, «smart», «erudite» and «not lazy»? Lech doesn’t answer.
Lisa did not come off her relatives, did not leave them alone for a minute, did not let them be alone
What happened to Lisa with such an upbringing? It turned out to be a very insecure girl who, more than anything else, wants to be loved. And so she comes to her aunt in St. Petersburg and finally finds herself in the atmosphere of a normal family, in which people talk to each other, are tender to each other. And Lisa likes it very much, as if she wants to be soaked in this atmosphere. She constantly hugs and asks to kiss her on the cheek at night.
Visiting her aunt, Liza did not come off her relatives, did not leave them alone for a minute, did not let them be alone, tried to completely capture their attention. The girl finally reached the source of emotional warmth and was now determined to drink it whole.
For the first time in her life, she was sincerely interested, she was neither gluttonous nor lazy at a party, she was ready to help around the house as much as she liked for simple human praise, which she had never heard at home.
Now Lisa is 16. From the father’s point of view, the fact that her daughter has not yet given birth to anyone, like her mother at this age, is his great pedagogical achievement. Lisa wants to leave home terribly. She has already grown up and realized that she can no longer get love in her parental family, so she wants love with a boy and her own family, in which there will definitely be everything that she did not receive in childhood.
She began to meet boys on the Internet — with great difficulty, carefully hiding it from her parents, deleting messages after reading and immediately changing passwords. All these boys are the first ones that come across, it is enough for them to put one “like”, and she, in gratitude for the attention, is ready to love them with all her might. Probably next year Lisa will enter the police college. Not because he wants to work in the police. It’s just that they immediately give a hostel, and it is as far as possible from Lesha’s dad and his control.
