I’m 50 years old now. Back in 19 I left my native Western Ukrainian village to Poland. She studied in Krakow, worked in Warsaw, then met a future husband here, married and stayed for life. I do not break into the village often, every three to four years. We have a small business with my husband, a cottage in Zakopane, on which we sometimes rest, as well as rent. Three children, grandchildren. In short, life rages, never look up. Mom lived in the village in Ukraine all her life. My brother lives there, and I thought he was looking at his mother. I have dropped him on the card for the last six years of money for my mom on Lee, on other needs. And then finally went to the village six months ago

And she saw in what conditions my mother lives! The washing machine and boiler are broken, rubbed with hands, water warms in a pan and washed in the basins, because the sewage does not work. He goes to the toilet. And mom 74, sick. Ask how your brother’s family lives? The children with their daughter -in -law have also grown, one of their daughter lives immediately, they bought a house with a handsome house with matchmakers. The brother and daughter -in -law – a new repair in the kitchen, the car was replaced: three years ago it was different. The daughter -in -law does not work, and the brother himself has been interrupted by the construction coats for many years

I quarreled with them, and as a result, my husband and I took my mother to Poland. But we have a three-room apartment in which we live with the family of our middle daughter, they have two children, our grandchildren. We have work, business, daughter help with the little ones … And in the apartment is close, constant noise, there is no rest. Not exactly what mom needs. And unfortunately, I have almost no time for it. So I’m still very glad that she is near me! I recently gave my mom here to the house for people of the age, near Krakow. Brother and daughter -in -law do not communicate with me now. But I don’t care. Mom is good, calm, good care.

We pay for it, of course. We often visit, we take the holidays home. And she has already appeared there, and even with some grandfather communicates. The paintings of drawing start-teach! And I never knew that my mom was drawing. In Ukraine, I am not understood not only by my brother with a daughter -in -law, but also condemns the other native. Yes, at home they look at the bevel, but here in Europe, this is absolutely normal! And the houses of the elderly here are completely different, the conditions here are beautiful, square, kindergarten in the territory. In short, everyone is well. That’s the new year’s holidays we take away. Will be with us. And do you think I did the right thing, or also think it is disrespect for mom?
