A friend told me a story, with his permission.



When I was 11, I watched the animated series "X-Men" on the Fox Kids channel. There was a very important line of events about Phoenix and everything that was related to it. I tried not to miss a single series. It was a good evening and my parents went to work. My mother went to Vladivostok, and my father was on duty. I went to school, went home and waited. Time for the series. I’m looking forward to the continuation of the story... But if everything was smooth, I’t tell it. My father and his colleague come. He says that they need to do something very important, and he asks me to go out and warm up the car (to not dust), because it is winter, and then they need to go. The guy, if he does not warm up, will not be able to start and his colleague will have to stay with us at night. In fact, I was not pleased:

1st I don’t want to miss the series.

2nd I don’t want any man to stay with us anymore.

have thought. In principle, if I get home very quickly, I will have time for the daily repetition of the series. Okay, I went into the car. I dressed up, dressed up, took a drink (they know how much it is) and I went into the car. I sit, sit and dumb. A boring PC. Music was one chance, but there were no smartphones at the time. I decided to go home for a moment to get at least a tetris. The door did not open for a long time. Dad’s friend opened and looked at me. “What do I need?” He says. Ohuet, I came home and I was still questioned... “I want to take Tetris.” He says what he will bring now goes into the room and is absent for a long time. All this time the silence is almost grave, only the telecast talks. Dad comes, gives me a tetris and says they haven’t finished yet. After taking a good toy, I go into the car and sit on. It’s not hot in the car, I would say. Batteries because of the cold, and because they were not new, quickly died out, so it is boring again. I spit on all this, stifled the car and went home. Two daughters come out of the apartment to meet me (then they seemed to me aunt, and now I would give these aunts 19-20 years old) and laugh about something between them running down. A friend of mine comes out and takes the keys from me. I go up and ask straight:

and dad. What was it?

You are about what?

Is it about my aunt who left us?

They came to work, and they didn’t lie.) is

I understand. What is so long?

“Sorry, but it didn’t work before... You’re... Mom, just don’t talk about work. Okay is?

Okay well.

The next day, he flew out of school to get away. I run and the TV doesn’t work!!! and soooo!! How I was angry. First on myself, then on my father’s colleague, and then on my father’s. I think that’s all! Mom will come and tell her what she missed the series. He did so. Mom began to question why I missed what I was doing in the car and everything else. Question after question and she learned absolutely everything. I didn’t even realize how I completely surrendered my father with his feet. Dad was very angry with me. Then there was a divorce, a trial, and my decision to stay with my mom because my dad thought it was their fault. He said for a long time that he did not participate, but was just present for the company. And killed - "I told Oleg that you need to be in the office!" By the way, Oleg and his wife did not divorce, he also said that he did not participate (they called the girls to see how they would do something with each other, ah). Three years later, the father returned to the family, still begged forgiveness, but his mother took him into such a mess that he could not even move. I don’t know if I did it right then, but still.
