Hi! My name is Jim. I am seventeen years old and I will tell you
the story about my mother and how she nearly died on a sunny spring day because of my father. Oh yes, strange things do happen. On that day, my mother received a message
on Facebook about how her husband had checked into a motel room near the highway. And it seemed that he wasn’t alone there. So she left her house and walked through town
to get to the motel. It was hard for my mother to walk past our
neighbors’ houses as they watched her from the windows. Somebody even left their house to take a closer
look. And it’s no wonder… my mother had literally
led an almost hermetically-sealed existence, locked away from the world for almost three
years. For her, each step was almost excruciating,
and it didn’t help that they were all looking at her with judgement and disgust. Maybe it wasn’t true, but this was probably
the reason why her heart was beating faster at that moment which eventually resulted in
her heart attack near the motel. Oh, one last thing I haven’t shared: my mother
weighed more than five hundred pounds. A long time ago our family life was perfectly
normal. I wouldn’t necessarily say that we were particularly
happy, but everything was normal. My mother, father, and my three younger brothers
and sisters lived together in a small house on the outskirts of a little Texas town. The only person who earned money in our family
was our father. My mother was a housewife and never worked,
and honestly we could hardly make ends meet with our father’s salary. He didn’t have a profession that was in high-demand
and the unemployment rate in our town was high… so our family was pretty poor. But still I don’t remember that I was really
in need of anything in my childhood. It wasn’t until the age of twelve that I understood
what real poverty meant. My youngest brother was less than six months
old when our father dumped our family. “I don’t remember exactly how it happened. You know, sometimes our brains just black
out some of the awful episodes in our minds. I think that’s what happened in this case. All I remember now is that it was late at
night when my father packed his things and left in his old car, leaving the garage open. And in the morning mother found a note there. It said that he couldn’t live with us anymore. That this life was eating him up and he could
not stand this endless family routine that didn’t bring him any happiness. That was why he was leaving us in order to
move to South America, while it was not too late, at least for him. Father didn’t leave us any contact information,
so we never found out if it was true or not. He didn’t even tell us the name of the country
he was going to. My mother was broken, and the news had nearly
killed her. For two reasons: first, after her husband
just up and left, she was all alone, with four kids, with no work, with no money, and
even without a car. Second, everyone in our town immediately found
out about my father’s disappearance in detail, including the contents of the note he left. Well, you have to understand, when people
know each other for so many years, it’s hard to keep this news a secret – news would
spread immediately, even when our parents were little. And now that every house has the internet,
it’s even worse! My mother was ashamed to have been dumped
and she felt really humiliated. Well, from that day on I suddenly had to grow
up – I was the oldest man in the family. Now I had to take responsibility. Of course I couldn’t take on a lot at twelve
years old, so for some time our family barely existed on government assistance, but as soon
as I could start working officially, I got a job at the nearest car wash, where I’ve
worked until now. Work was not too hard and the owner of the
car wash was nice to me, but I didn’t have any free time. I was ALWAYS busy – at school, at work, or
at home where I had to share all the house work with my sister. Сleaning, cooking, and looking after the
younger ones… You might ask: why I had to share all this
with my sister? The thing is that my mom just completely stopped
being herself and wasn’t able to take care of us. For several years after my father left us,
my mom tried to hang in there but she couldn’t fight her depression any longer. She became very sad. She even had problems going out to eat because
she thought that everyone in town would look at her – some with pity, some with mockery. Both were unbearable for her. So she spent most of her life on the sofa:
watching TV or surfing the internet with our old, barely working laptop. And also my mother ate very VERY much. The cheap junk food that she could afford
gave my mother enough courage to survive yet another day. It was very sad. And then she started to rapidly gain weight,
up to the point that she had difficulty moving around the house… honestly, it was disgusting. I was glad that she did not leave home anymore
so nobody would see her like this. …So when my mother received a message from
her neighbor who saw my father near a motel with a girl, she couldn’t just ignore it. It was beyond her control. If she still wanted anything in this world,
it was to look into the eyes of the man who ruined her life. So she still left the house. It was only then that she realized how our
neighbors perceived her and how much she had changed! Because of her depression, she didn’t really
have a firm grip on living in reality and even her poor physical condition didn’t help
her realize how fat she had become. Now, she began to see it. Somehow she managed to walk to the motel. One of my friends worked there so he called
me and asked me to come over ASAP. So I ran there as fast as I could, without
even changing out of my work clothes. But I was still too late. She barely got through asking the person working
at the motel about my father when she pressed her arm to her chest and fell to the ground. Thank God she lived until the ambulance came,
but it still was heart attack. It’s been several months that my mother has
been in the hospital. By the way, our neighbor was wrong, that was
not our father at the motel, just a man who barely resembled him. But you know… everything that happened turned
out for the best. All that stress finally shook my mother and
she came out of the spell of depression she had been under, so now she is ready to be
treated for obesity and the depression that caused it. And now she really wants to return to a normal
life, so I’m hoping that everything will be fine. I hope you’ve never faced any of the problems
that my family did, but maybe you need to share your stories too? Send them to the email address stated and
do not forget to take care of your Mom.

Her ex-husband never ruined her life and to be honest I would have left too
Is there a 17 year old cap for these stories?
Is the mother ok now?
Dad is a POS! But how did the people find out about contents of the note? The mother wasnโt suffering from depression so much as self pity.
Was this the plot to Gilbert Grape.
I want to hug youโre mom ๐
Is it just me or does this remind you of what's eating Gilbert's grapes
I think your mom ate your dad.
SHE is SO FAT๐๐๐๐๐๐
I cried over this story . I hope sheโs fine now
Everybody who knows me knows that I eat a lot and my size never changes.๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ
He's like being ashamed about his mother. We must not be ashamed because of how our parents look, we must take care of them and help them on their problems and solve it as a family and also it's his mother the one that gave birth to him so he must not be disgust about his mother look just help her fight her depression and love her. Thanks for reading
