😉 Welcome new and regular readers! Friends, alcoholism is a terrible disease, and when a woman drinks it is doubly worse. Many people say that female alcoholism is incurable. An old friend told me a case from my life on this topic. Narration from her face.
Drenched happiness
My brother’s ex-wife committed suicide seven years ago. Kostya got married as a student. Then Julia seemed to us a modest and well-mannered girl. A year and a half after the wedding, the young couple had a son.
And then our daughter-in-law seemed to be replaced. Julia has changed beyond recognition: she had a row with her husband for no reason, started smoking and cursing. But the worst thing is that she started drinking. And when a woman drinks – it’s a disastrous business.
We wanted to help Julia get out of this swamp. But any attempts to talk and arrange her in a good clinic, she took with hostility.
She stopped getting along with her husband and taking care of the child. From a well-mannered shy woman, she turned into an evil fury. Constantine grew gloomier and gloomier every day. The nephew from an active, cheerful child began to turn into a downtrodden and unsociable animal.
Parents remained neutral for a long time: to interfere in the affairs of a young family is to “add fuel to the fire”. But they could not close their eyes to everything that was happening in the son’s family. At first, my father said: “Don’t touch them! Kostya is not small, he will deal with his wife himself! ”
But looking at my unfortunate grandson every day became more and more painful. Grandmother has noticed bruises and abrasions all over her grandson more than once. And this already crossed all the boundaries! When asked about what happened, he replied: “I just hit it.”
The parents no longer had the strength to look at all this. They put the young people in front of the fact: “Live as you want, and we take the grandson to our place!” Since then, Roman began to live in our house, because in a series of constant scandals, the young were not up to him.
After a year of regular hassles from his wife, Konstantin nevertheless decided to divorce. Shortly before that, Yulia was fired from her job for systematic absenteeism and unrestrained drunkenness. Now nothing prevented her from passing the time in the company of the “green serpent”. Sometimes she went on a spree and did not appear at home for several days.
Divorce
Then there was the divorce proceedings and the court, by decision of which Roman was left with his father. And his now ex-wife was deprived of his maternal rights.
Approximately once every six months, the unfortunate mother still remembered that she had a son. A sank woman with a face swollen from endless drunkenness and a black eye under her eye came to visit.
Nobody forbade Roma to communicate with her. Drinking woman, but still a mother. Once a neighbor Katya, who was friends with Yulia, broke the news. Julia, by all means, is going to pick up Romka and take him to his mother in a neighboring village. It seemed unlikely, but once the mother-in-law heard Julia talking to her son:
– Baby, – she said, breathing the fumes on the boy, – you love your mother? Liu-yu-bish! Let’s go to my grandmother in the village, there is nature, clean air, there you will be surrounded by normal people. Not like these … Critters!
At that moment, the mother-in-law ran into the room and drove this drunk out the door. No, no one was very anxious, because it is clear that no one would give the boy to her. It’s just that Romka, after meeting with his mother, came to his senses for a very long time – he closed himself in the room and cried. Sometimes all day long.
Big problems
Once Julia came without warning, she literally burst into the apartment.
– Romka, well, get ready quickly, we will urgently get out of here! I have big problems – the woman rushed around the apartment in panic, collecting her son’s things.
The boy with fear on his face watched his drunk mother thrust his blouse into a dirty bag. Throws boots and favorite toy there. With tears in his eyes, Roma rushed to his grandmother and pressed himself to her feet.
– He won’t go anywhere with you! Come on out, otherwise I’ll call the police now! And don’t you dare approach him anymore until you change your mind! – the mother-in-law barked at the daughter-in-law.
Just at that moment Kostya returned from work. He tried as delicately as possible to explain to his ex-wife that she no longer has the right to a child. So the court decided that here Roma is loved and will not be given to her even at gunpoint.
Kostya is generally a very calm and self-possessed person and only a quarrelsome, uncontrollable woman could bring him to a divorce. The scandal lasted about an hour, the former daughter-in-law threw mud at everyone around, threatened to kidnap the child. Leaving the apartment with nothing, Yulia turned around:
“Damn you all, you bastards! I’ll get you even from the other world! I’ll die, but I won’t give you life! You even bribed the court, creatures!
And you know, Julia kept her word … A week later she hanged herself. This outcome did not surprise anyone. When a woman drinks, suicide is not uncommon.
Later repentance
Since then, strange things began in the house of the ex-husband: icons fell from the walls, the light itself turned on. But, the worst thing is that Roma saw his mother every night and ran screaming to his father. Crawling headlong under the covers and trembling with horror, he pointed to the wall and said: “There is mom! There’s a dead mother in the corner! ”
It got to the point that the boy was afraid to close his eyes and be alone in the room even during the day. Parents blessed the house, turned to local healers for help, but it was all in vain. This whole nightmare ended after Roma and his father went to the cemetery.
Frankly, at first everyone was against it, but the boy persistently asked Kostya to take him with him. At the cemetery, Roma asked to be left alone.
He pressed himself against the photograph on the cross and whispered something for a long time, wiping his childish tears with his sleeve. To this day, no one knows what exactly the son said – he flatly refuses to talk about it.
But the bottom line is that the ghost of the former daughter-in-law did not appear again. The atmosphere at home also returned to normal, and Roma stopped being afraid and crying at night, slowly he began to return to normal life.
Seven years have passed since that moment. From time to time, the novel asks his father to take him to Yulia’s grave, which he never refuses. What can you do if the child wants to talk to the mother. Yes, and her sinful soul, probably, wants to communicate with her son, whom she exchanged for a bottle. Even later, but remorse.
