Can you imagine a mother losing her mind over a man she's obsessed with and losing her love for her children? How cruel is that?
Ella became a mother as early as 17 years old. She was too young and so is her partner Kent. Their parents disapproved of their love because of their age. The poor boy left without a choice and finished his studies leaving Ella so devastated.
When she gave birth, she never touched her beautiful daughter. When it cries of hunger she barely feed her. She is in rage inside but still longing for the guy who left her hanging.
Ella was raised and sent to school by her single mom. She doesn't want to be like her. Raising them alone without a father figure. Her dad's a cruise ship captain who eloped with a young political-business tycoon. Her mom left with nothing but a bump in her tummy and an innocent 4 year old girl - that was her.
She finished school and got a job. Her little angel grew up pretty and smart. After 5 years she finally got over the seemingly unending pain. She focused on her little one and she's obviously proud.
Then she met Jake, a simple and quiet guy introduced to her by a friend. They get along with each other well. She easily fell under his spell. They planned for a simple life together. He said he wanted to settle down with her. She was then full of joy. Finally, her daughter Belle will atleast feel the love of a father. Belle like Jake so much, they're like a good match as father and daughter.
Ella has become more inspired for months. Until one day someone came to her doorstep. It was Kent, all man now. He said he got a job and a growing business and he's ready to meet his child.
Belle took a glance out in the slightly open door from curiosity of that stranger outside. Ella let him in for a good talk but never introduced the child to him. Kent knew but he understood it's not the right time.
Days passed, Ella gets a bunch of surprises. Flowers, chocolates and Teddy bear for the kid. She felt flattered, she never got this kind of special gifts from Jake and now she's speechless. Almost everyday, she would see a stalk of her favorite pink rose on her doorstep with short inspiring notes on it. She remembers kent back in their younger days. He used to write notes on a sticky paper. That's when she realized it was not Jake.
Few months later, Jake proposed. That's what she was waiting for. A man who will be there for her and choose to stay with her forever, a man who will become a father figure to her daughter. Ella stopped receiving gifts. She felt empty and somehow missed that special feeling inside.
Another angel came three months later. She told jake about it, that's when he started feeling annoyed at her. Jake always get rejected on job interviews and this makes him grumpy all the time.
After giving birth they moved in to Jake's house but without Belle. Jake's parents doesn't approve of Ella bringing her little girl with them. Jake wanted to be only the three of them. Months passed, Jake got a job with the help of a friend. Unfortunately, he keeps all the money and let Ella spend everything for the baby's needs.
Ella felt a different vibe against Jake. He seemed to be spending mostly outside and leaving her stressed with the baby. Then she starts becoming harsh to the child out of anger against him. One day, she found out Jake dates that friend who helped him get a job.
Her heart sank. She was again crushed into pieces. All their dreams together went blur. Suddenly she missed Belle and decided to move out.
She went home and hugged her tearfully right away. A few more months passed she found out Jake took the lady home and the family welcomed her warm heartedly. She was filled with anger and hate in her heart. She felt choked by betrayal. That's when she started leaving the care of the children to her mother.
She begged him to come back. She begged him to take her without Belle and the baby. She just wants him to be with her. She attempted suicide to get his attention but no luck for her.
She started staying inside her room. Never thought of feeding her children. Never thought if they were ever hungry. She let Belle bathe her baby sister. She went heartless against her children. As if she never wanted them anymore. Her children cried but as if she doesn't hear them. She only wanted Jake to love her again, to come and pull her up from depression. If that's what she thinks it is.
Ella's obsession crushed her. There were times she slept in her tears without the kids in her arms. Sometimes she cuts herself in the wrist or her legs. When she comes out of the room, she yells at Belle all the time.
The news reached Kent. He then moved immediately to take the kids and sent her to a mental facility.
One day, Ella was found lifeless in her room with a piece of broken plate in her bleeding hand.
This story is inspired from that friend who is currently in her tough situation right now.
I and some of our friends did all our best to help but it seems like she never listened and learned anything from us.
If you wish to share any advise on this matter I would really appreciate it. Just want to help her out from this misery.
oh it's so sad 😥
