“Se fue sin decir nada”
"He left without saying anything"
Today I want to share a writing that for a long time has hurt Eva, she felt that even her emotions moved her whole being deeply, and she understood that she still needed therapy to overcome the double abandonment of who was her husband, the father of her only son, her beloved male.
It affected her because she felt it damaged the emotional health of her son Andres, she protected him. Thus, a tumor grew on the right side of her chest that came to teach her through the disease.
El abandono paterno...
The paternal abandonment...
"It's his loss" she was told for years, at every tear she shed for him. Every absence, every achievement where her eyes searched unsuccessfully for him in every corner where she and her son lived.
"It's his loss" they told her mother, while she was going crazy and trying to get herself together, without success; while two hands were not enough to hold so much loneliness. While she tried to disappear too.
"He's missing out" they told Eva and her son and they lied to them because.... He didn't miss anything!...He traveled... He loved... He built a new life with another woman, He enjoyed, He lived the life he wanted, He was happy.
He was happy at the cost of many sleepless, terrified, panic-stricken nights of Eva. At the cost of economic and especially emotional deprivation, of lacking everything, at the cost of their happiness and health.
He was not lost," Eva thought to herself, "we my son and I lost him; we had rights and Alonso had obligations. We and so many other children, because this did not just happen to me, this is very common.
NO!! BASTA!! El abandono es abandono y siempre hay que hacerse cargo.
NO!!! ENOUGH!!! Neglect is neglect and you always have to take charge.
They the parents who abandon do not miss anything, they CHOOSE FREELY and in their choices, they choose not to take their children anymore to a birthday, nor on vacation, nor to buy a gift for a friend, nor to ask for a scholarship for school, nor to pay for a summer camp; nor to come to a birthday nor call although I would add sometimes just call, nor to take care of a fever, nothing.
And that often happens before physical abandonment. Men who find it hard to take charge of fatherhood, even if they have wanted it, they don't know how. It does not even cross their minds to stop going out or playing soccer because the child is sick.
Let's stop romanticizing or victimizing abandonment, because the phrase "It's his loss" even lacks a "poor" in front of it. As if it were an injustice of fate, something that happens to men and they can't handle it and poor, they miss it.
Alonso in one of the very few meetings he had with Eva told her unfortunately you do not want to change, it is evident that you still hurt about the "SUPPOSED ABANDONMENT" of the father of your child, as you usually express yourself; but not for Andres but for YOU, understand that I no longer want you by my side.
Here the only one who is lacking in paternal, emotional and above all acceptance is you Eva; you leave yourself with an unrealistic image; by daring to write things that your conscience if you have one, you know it is false.
Andres our son did not grow up on the right side where you developed breast cancer; he grew up with your whole being, with all your complaints, with all your sadness because you have not learned to OVERCOME what is no longer there, you have no sense of acceptance.
In this entire cheap novel you have put together no one misses out on anything, the only one who missed out on a FAMILY although not united, "accepted" and happy WAS OUR SON, I don't know if you understand.
Better project to your son as you say; to honor his parents and ancestors even if he does not have them or he thinks they do not deserve honor, because that is what we were called to do. Close your cycles and do not anchor your child for eternity in your shortcomings.
Teach him that his father is not absent because he is part of him and that is how he should be grateful, not by always repeating the same sad story that only reflects your unhappiness Eva. I left without saying anything but it's time to talk Eva make yourself a perfect life and live it.
She replied "I prefer loneliness to being with someone who fucks up my life!. You are her only good example! or at least that's what you think you are.
“Si una madre menoscaba o hurta la figura del padre, incapacita a sus hijos para el éxito social y siembra en sus hijos una rabia, que un día ellos, le devolverán “
Now I give you this quote to see if it does you any good... said Alonso.
“If a mother undermines or steals the father figure,
she incapacitates her children for social success and sows in her children a rage that one day they will give back to her".
Demolishing words that sentenced the end of a relationship. To which she replied a grown and mature man would not have time to do or say what you just did to your son and me... it was a very low and inhuman blow - Eva thought, I should never have listened to him.
Mamá de Andrés…
Andres' mom...
And then you came along and my life changed completely!
Many things happened, some of them Eva could not even imagine; but the most important of all is that her son taught her to LOVE unconditionally.
Many times Eva felt that she could not handle her upbringing alone; but the smiles and joys of Andres made her be brave and never give up, she knew what Andres' life meant to her, that his love helped her not to dilute; she simply got up and continued forward with her son.
Perhaps she had made too many mistakes, because she didn't know the profound challenge of bringing him into the world. Because upon arrival, she would sleep less; there would be no more weekend plans, not knowing who would take care of him.
She forgot to be a woman, to put on lipstick and heels. She even stopped wearing perfumes because they gave her allergies.
She didn't know you could love so much and then he came into her life. She learned how much a mother is capable of loving and to understand her pain when she sees her suffering. That sublime, unconditional love; unconditional. A love that gives itself unconditionally.
Aquí reflexionando… Mamás, atentas...
Here reflecting... Moms, attentive...
If life were this that we see, it would be unforgivable, but it is not. This transit is a sigh in the eternity of being and everything is teaching and learning.
We are all teachers of others. His mission was not to stay, he did what Alonso he had to do or simply scraped the matter. Everything is perfect, even if it doesn't seem so.
A lot of light in the words. Everything is learning, there is no good or bad. There are no victims or victimizers; there is a situation to transcend.
There is no abandonment when he could not sustain it and gave it in the hands of the one who did have that love: the mother We have lived that experience and it is difficult to cope without the help of family and close friends.
Abandonment is as common as divorce, and many men hide behind it because we are warriors. It is hard to raise children alone, we must heal that abandonment.
Loves for our children are open windows to those answers we need so much.
Even when they grow up they will continue to be our little ones and they will be able to count on their mothers and fathers for the rest of their lives, as long as we breathe and even after... from heaven.
They decide to go on to other things, other lives, we decide to enjoy our role as Mothers and our children. What we have to do is to live, to move forward with every experience that this decision gives us.
I think that machismo still exists and is preponderant in our society. Love for a partner can end, but love for a child? ...it is food for thought for everyone...it is so difficult to deal with this, but it will catch on along the way.
We all have someone who gives us the impulse to stand up or to say goodbye... with courage. The children of blood, the adopted ones are all part of that great transformation, that avatar that is called parents to create lives.
Love your son, forgive Alonso the author of his days, his biological father and forgive yourself Eva for the things you did not do well... (Keep learning.) May the not so good moments make you a great woman and a better human being.
So real is this story that writing I cry, although it seems that it will not be like that some will say because if it is like that we will pass to a second place for them, when our children grow up, although for us they will always be the babies and we will not be able to take care of them anymore.
The children no longer be in their rooms, where we would go to see if they had fallen asleep, only their smell of children in our memories we will find, this gives us a little nostalgia and we will only have to wait until we can listen to them through a videoconference call I am grateful to have Wii and internet where the joy of listening to them will return to us.
One more day and they grew up; they will always be our babies, our children now grown up, now writing their destinies...thanks to us their parents; today I ask God for the most beautiful wishes for their lives.
If we manage to silence our souls, we will listen to theirs. Only in this way, we will be able to "look through" our inner selves, towards what we need, towards what is good for us, towards a greater well-being for our children.
To all the children in the world...You are a wonderful human being, a son, a daughter whom I love and thank infinitely. Talented, creative, nostalgic in nature but with a good attitude despite adversity. He tells me I am brave, but I am only a reflection of his heart.MOM.
