Tom grew up without his mom; he only remembered how his father screamed when she was leaving. Tom was very little at that time, maybe he was 3 or 4 years old. One morning, he was playing on the floor and saw her mom going out with the luggage. He heard his father saying to his mom, "Go away! We don't need you!" He could see his helpless father and leaving mom. He also was crying and begging his mom not to leave.
When his mom left the family, his dad started to move on. He started to bring new women to their home one after another. Tais, Mary, Nicole, and lastly Sophie. The first few days were good but they all left, leaving a hole in Tom's father's heart. One morning, he was looking for Sohpie but she was nowhere. So, he came to his father to ask. But then found out that his father was crying and he understood that the unpleasant thing happened again. His father told him that Sophie had dumped him. He added that they all leave sooner or later. He advised Tom not to trust women.
Tom was 20 when he buried his father. His promiscuous lifestyle put him in his early grave. When Tom was standing by the grave, he realized that he hated all women and would never let himself love anyone.
He knew that he was popular with ladies of all ages. He could flirt a lot and this attracted many. One day he was sitting in a bar alone. Then an aged woman came to him and asked if he would like to have a cocktail. He smiled and said that he could not say no to a gorgeous woman like her. She became happy and that's when he got his new victim.
He used their money to have fun in every possible way. He often went on vacations, stayed at luxurious hotels. In fact, his life changed. And when his victim would run out of money, he would find a new one. One night they were having dinner in a renowned restaurant: he and his current victim. He said to her, "Baby, I want a hefty sum on my back card, otherwise, I am out of here!" The old lady was amazed and said, "But sweetie, I am already spending a lot of money on you."
Tom got angry and said that she had made her choice. He was about to leave. Then the lady said that he could not leave because he said he loved her. He forbade her to be an idiot. He added that he only loved her money, and without it, she was just a stupid old hag. He left the place making the woman devastated. He never felt sorry for the women; actually, he liked to see them cry.
And he enjoyed cashing big checks. Those rich women were ready to pay well for his company. One day, Tom went to a bar and saw her; a 50-year-old blonde bombshell. He thought it looked like he had found a new girlfriend. He went to her and sat on the next chair. he then asked her if he remembered him. He added that she had met him in her dreams and he was wearing shining armor.
They hit it off and, just one hour later were on their way to her house. She tried to explain that she usually didn't do that. Tom smiled and said that everything was okay. He added that she just fell in love at first sight. However, having arrived at his new victim's home, he saw something that made his heart drop. He saw an old photograph and was so shocked. The lady noticed it and asked him if there was anything wrong. He asked her where she had got those photographs.
She replied that they were all she had left of her former life. She added that she was married and had a son, but her husband was abusive so she left him. Tom got angry and told the lady that she walked out on her child, and insisted that it was true. The old lady said that she was young and foolish and she regretted it every day. She got irritated and asked Tom who he was to judge her. He replied that he was that child. He added that she abandoned him and ruined his life.
Tom's mom was so shocked and said that she could not believe her eyes. She called Tom "My boy" and he got angry. He forbade her to call him by this as she didn't deserve to be called a mother. He added that she had betrayed his dad and him. She told him that his father was a monster. She asked him to try to remember. And he recalled everything. He recalled his dad's yelling, his mom's tears, broken dishes, and police calls.
His mom wanted to take him with her. But his dad warned her. He said that if she dared to try to take his son from him, she would be very sorry. So, that night she hugged and told her son that she was so sorry but she could not stay there anymore. She said that she hope one day Tom would understand her.
Tom and his mom could not hold back tears. They hug each other and his mom told him that she was so sorry. She asked forgiveness for leaving him there and not going back to him. He replied that he realized everything.
That day changed Tom's life forever; he stopped taking revenge on all women and opened his heart to forgiveness.
Don't judge people for their choices; you don't always know their motives.
Dear, you just nailed it. Amazing dear. Absolutely worthy.
