A large single mother is a phenomenon for us now, unfortunately, absolutely everyday and familiar. Often, after divorce, children remain with a woman and give God if the native father remembers them at least every six months. In the first time, in Soviet times, to be a single mother was considered almost shameful, since there was a cult of family and divorce in the country, even for objective reasons. In addition, it was widespread that “a child needs a father”, so women tried to get married again. Now it is easier with this case: no one condemns anyone, and the number of single mothers with children in our country is growing rapidly from year to year. But a single parent in our country is exotic. Particularly large-only single parent, who became 36-year-old Michael 5 years ago. Most often, men in this category are widowers, but in this case it is not. In the family of Michael there was a classic and banal situation: his wife fell in love with another after 13 years of marriage and threw Michael.

Only this was quite atypical for the woman – and left all the common children to her ex -husband. And they had seven children! Nothing heralded trouble: Michael and his wife Ksenia knew each other from his student years. They married when she was 22 and he was not 23. Parah was not going to become many parents, and Xenia was determined to go to work after the birth of her first child. Initially, the first child was born in the family, the second one year later, the third in 2 years and so on … Up to 35 years Xenia was already the mother of seven children. The female did not work, all the care of the house lay on Michael. All these years, Xenia took care of children. The family lived modestly, but not so much to be poor. At 35, Xenia suddenly put Michael ultimatum – she wants to divorce. The reason is a hand -old friend whom the woman knew from school. It turns out, while Michael disappeared at work, “torn” between children and the house, Xenia managed to get a novel secretly from her husband

And in a new life with a new husband, Xenia wanted to enter completely free, leaving all her seven children Michael … It does not mean that she was throwing them, just a woman tired of everyday life, wanted to live a free life, just visiting her children, but not living with them. So Michael unexpectedly became a single father with seven many children … The man says that at first it was difficult, but not financially, because he and children were not used to saving. It was difficult morally and more for him, but for children. If older children who were 13, 12 and 10 years old at that time understood the whole situation, it was very difficult to explain why their mother did not live with them now, but comes a couple of times a week. Mikhail was more concerned about the moral condition of children … But gradually life was established.

There are already 41 now, and he says that in these 5 years he had forgiven his ex -wife, although at the very beginning he was incredibly wicked on her. The only thing that worries Michael is that in these 5 years he did not adjust his personal life: as soon as women learned that he was a single father and he had seven children, he stopped any contact with him … A woman under 40 already has 9 children from two men. Surprisingly, the children of their marriage to Michael also forgave their hunted mother: all seven children communicate well with her, although they live with their father.
