A woman wrote to us to share her absolutely dramatic family story.

A 59-year-old woman, named Rosa, has recently written a letter to our editorial.
She started, saying, “Hi, I’m Rosa, and I have never thought I would do what I’ve done to my son’s family.
But the circumstances were such, that I couldn’t remain passive and silent, and I really had to teach them all a good lesson.
However, I don’t feel relieved after that, and I do need advice on whether I acted in a wrong way with them and if my verdict for them was too much.”
Rosa continued her story, saying, that she’s a widow, and she’s been living alone in a big country house, which was a heritage from her grandma.
In that house her son, Nigel, 35, was born and raised, and to that very house he first brought his then-girlfriend and now-wife Helen.
Rosa says that she clearly remembers her first meeting with Helen, as if it was just yesterday.
The woman gives more details about it, saying, “I somehow had this gut feeling, from the very start, that Helen and I will never be friends.
From the beginning, she was acting like a snub, asking me about my education and my background, and I really felt like I was at a job interview rather than at a first meeting with my DIL.”
Rosa and Helen have never been in a peaceful relationship with one another.
Rosa goes on with her story, saying, that since their first meeting, Helen has barely changed her attitude to her.
She was constantly poking fun at Rosa, who used to work as a cleaner in the past, that her job was “indecent”.
She called her “illiterate” and advised her to read more books.
Rosa was swallowing those bitter pills, one after the other, for the sake of her son’s happiness. As it often happens, despite his wife’s character, Nigel loved Helen with all his heart, and they were building their own family together.
So Rosa just wanted to see less of Helen in her house, but was always happy to see Nigel and her 2 grandchildren, Mike and Tommy.
When Nigel lost his job as a CEO of a huge multinational company, it was a stroke for the whole family, including Rosa.
She was pretty aware of the fact that Nigel would be struggling to find a new job very fast, because by that time, he had earned not a very good reputation in the business.
In the meantime, Nigel’s family needed to move out of their rented house, and they would have to look for something that would be cheaper to rent, as the family was running short of money.
Rosa stepped in, and made a huge decision.
She bought a house for Nigel and his family, spending all her life savings and also the money that her late husband left after his passing.
