hello John I thought you were  already sleeping are you okay

I'm great and you're not gonna tell  me what to do you're not my dad

I know I'm not your father and I  don't pretend to be I just want to

I don't care what you want get out  of my room you're not my father

listen I want to tell you a story it happened  to me when I was your age please listen to me

okay say whatever you want but  then leave I don't like you at all

I was just a kid when my parents got divorced  at the beginning it affected me a lot  

I was sad all day every day I missed my father  so much but then then I understood why my  

mom had decided to get divorced my parents  used to fight a lot when they were together  

and all I remember was them fighting every day my  mom used to be angry all the time and sometimes  

she cried at nights I couldn't understand  why back then but now I get it they didn't  

get along anymore I suppose they didn't love  each other anymore so after they got divorced  

my mom was sad because of us but then she  started working even harder than before

anyway my brother and I missed my dad so much  the first six months and my mom was also sad and  

at the beginning we thought it was because of my  father but no it was because she was worried about  

us my siblings and me she had to work all day so  she wasn't at home for us she woke up very early  

and made breakfast and lunch for us we also helped  her in the little storage she had and that is how  

we spent our days trying to improve our lives my  mom woke up at about four in the morning every  

day because she had to go to buy the products  for her story I think they were cheaper at that  

time of the day then she worked in the store  from six in the morning to seven in the evening

then she used to sell food in her store to earn  more money of course we needed the money so much  

and my mom didn't earn much money with the store  so she used to be out until 10 or 11 in the night

we try to help her of course but it was not enough  we were only children we couldn't get a good job  

so we helped her where we could we also try to  sell some things but it was never enough never

one day we went to her store and we saw our  mom with a man it was one of my mom's friend  

we knew him well we had met him like  four or five years ago in the church  

he used to go to the same charge asked my mom

she was laughing I hadn't seen her  laughing since I don't even remember  

she used to be very sad because of  the fights she had with my father  

and then when they got divorced she was sad  because of us but she was laughing this time  

I greeted the man and then I went to the  school I liked my mom was happy again  

at least for a moment she told us he was just her  friend and we were fine with that we believed her  

he went to see her more than one time the days  passed and he kept going to my mother's store  

they had lunch together and they went to  the church together I thought he was only  

her best friend that's all but then one day she  told us she wanted to talk to us we were there  

the three of us my older brother my sister and me  in front of my mom it had already been about two  

years since she had left my dad she told us that  that man her friend was not her friend anymore

she told us he was her boyfriend and  that she felt very happy with him  

she tried to explain that she had felt alone and  that his friend had been always there for her  

he had supported her all this  time and they got along very well

but I couldn't understand I mean  I wanted her to be happy and I  

knew my father was not the right person for that  

but I didn't like the idea I don't know maybe  I just didn't want my mother to be with anyone

I got angry my brother also  got angry my sister tried to  

understand the situation she said  she supported my mother's decision  

I didn't like the idea I told her I didn't  want her to be with anyone because of my father

I told her she was cheating my father with that  man to be honest I really don't know why I said  

that seriously I got so mad at my mom and left the  room she was very sad she tried to explain to us

but it was useless I didn't want to listen to  her so she gave up her decision and we never saw  

that man again the days passed and my mom was  sad again she continued to work hard every day  

but she didn't smile anymore I felt terrible  was it my fault what is wrong with this man  

didn't I like him his personality so I started  thinking about that then I realized it was only  

a tantrum yeah it didn't make any sense at  all my mom was happy and I didn't want that  

what was wrong with me so I decided to talk  to her and gave the man one opportunity  

I told my mom she could tell the man to  come home and that they could be together

she told me that it was very late he had  traveled to another country because of his job  

and he wouldn't come soon so they couldn't be  together anymore I felt terrible I didn't know  

what to do I had destroyed my mom's life she was  happy with that man and I didn't let her be happy  

he had traveled to another country because my  mother had told him they couldn't be together  

because of me and my brother I felt terrible again

I try to find a man through internet but I  

couldn't find him years later he  came back from his trip to Europe  

he came back to visit my mom I saw him when I  went to my mother's store they were there talking

when he saw me he tried to leave the place he  said I'm sorry I know you don't like me I'm going  

I told him wait I need to talk to  you I know you make my mom happy  

she was sad when you left  so you must be a good person

if you don't want to be my mother's  boyfriend again I will understand  

it was all my fault but at least  you can be her friend please  

I know she loves you so much and she  will be very happy if you are together

he was surprised I told him that my mom was also  

surprised they were happy in fact but  he had already gotten married in Europe  

anyway they became good friends and my mom  was happy but it could have been better

I didn't let her be happy and I regret that every  day now you have the chance to make your mom happy  

I love her so much I could do anything for her and  also for you because I know she loves you a lot

I just want you to give me a  chance please to show you that  

I am a good person and I can be  a great partner for your mother  

I don't want to be your father I just want to  be your friend can you give me an opportunity

well I suppose I can give you a chance I  will do it for my mom I want her to be happy  

you won't regret it I promise I  will work hard to earn your trust
