You will read the rest yourself:
- I have seen my mother, in tears, because of my or my brother's words. When I look at her, my heart hurts too, I think about my behavior ... Her tears are a great pain for me. I apologize and tell her that I love her very much ...
- I'm sure when I have a child he/she will treat me the way I treated my parents, so I try not to hurt them.
- My mother is an immigrant and I caress her from distance. Only five months have passed since she left, but it seems to me that we have been apart for many years…
From the diary of the psychologist of the Women Fund "Sukhumi" - Manana Gotsiridze:
Kh. 28 years old: “After the divorce, life stopped for me. Everything was gray, dull, meaningless. I often thought why to live after such a shame. My mother was crying with me, my mother’s friend found us in such condition and advised me to address the psychologist of the Fund “Sukhumi” for help. For almost eight months I learned to look at the world in a new way. I don’t know how to express my gratitude not only for returning a smile on my face, but also for the light in my mother’s eyes. We are happy".
The psychologist has many such stories. These are the results of consecutive, long-term work, which was intensively carried out in February:
