The husband mocked his unemployed wife every day, saying that she “does nothing at home,” but when his wife was taken away by ambulance, the note she left behind changed the future life of their family together 😱💔
Many people think that housewives do not have much to do, but the truth is that they do a lot of work. These mothers do work that often no one notices. They take care of the children, go shopping, clean the house, and look after the family. After getting married and giving birth to their two sons, Cody and Sonny, Sara left her job as an interior designer so she could fully devote herself to her boys.
Her husband, Harry, worked as a highly paid game developer. He paid the household bills, but he never appreciated Sara’s work. In his opinion, his wife did not have a “real” job. Besides that, Harry was almost never home. He often stayed late at the office because his job forced him to work overtime. And when he came home, he expected Sara to have already taken care of everything — the house, the children, his clothes, and his needs.
One morning, Sara and the children were waiting for Harry to join them for breakfast. When he entered the kitchen, he did not take his eyes off his phone and did not even greet his family. He quickly took a piece of toast and went back to his room. A little later, he started shouting at Sara because his white shirt had not been ironed for an important meeting.
“Until now, there weren’t enough white clothes to do a full load of laundry,” Sara said. “You have more than one white shirt,” Harry said angrily. “Harry, you are exaggerating. What matters is how you present yourself. It is just a shirt.” “Fine, then stop barking.”
Sara froze. “Wow… seriously? I’m barking? Did you really just say that?” “And what are you going to do, Sara? You are making a big problem out of nothing. And no one will care what color shirt I am wearing, because everyone will be looking at my presentation.” “What did you say? Repeat it. Do you know how hard I have worked on this project — day and night?” “Be careful what you say. The children are here…” But Harry said loudly, “You do nothing at home all day.”
Sara was deeply hurt by his words. What Harry said was too painful for her. In the end, Harry grabbed a random shirt and went to work. His presentation went very well, and he could not wait to come home and tell Sara and the children about it. But he was a little surprised. Sara had not called him all day to apologize for the argument. Usually, it did not matter who was right or wrong. Sara was always the first one to apologize.
When Harry entered the house, he found a note on the table.
Read the continuation in the comments section 😱👇‼️
Sara had written that she wanted a divorce. Harry was confused. He did not know what to do. He immediately called Sara’s sister, Zara. Zara told him that Sara had been taken to the hospital.
Harry rushed to the emergency room. He wanted to see Sara and talk to her. He was told that he could enter her room only for a very short time because Sara had had a severe fainting spell. When Harry saw Sara in the hospital bed, he began to cry. He asked, “Did you really mean what you wrote? Do you really want to leave me?” Sara looked at him calmly and answered, “Yes.”
Harry tried to convince her to change her decision, but Sara no longer wanted to listen. When Sara was discharged from the hospital, she did not return home. She left Harry with the children and went away.
Harry found himself in a very difficult situation. He had to take care of the children and work at the same time. Soon he began arriving late to work and failing to finish his tasks on time. It was very difficult for him to balance work and family life. One day, his boss, who was also his friend, suggested going for a drink after work so they could talk.
“Harry, we have noticed that you are often late and missing deadlines. We are friends, but this is also a business… you understand what I mean,” Mr. Adams said. Harry tried to lighten the situation with a joke. “So you are planning to get rid of your best game developer?” Mr. Adams looked at him silently. “I’m sorry, but yes. I can no longer control the situation. I will recommend a few good places for you.” “What? Don’t do that. This job is important for my children.” But it was already too late.
When Harry left the bar, Sara called him. He had not heard her voice for a long time, and what Sara said left him speechless. Sara said that she wanted to take custody of the children. “Custody?” Harry shouted. “You are shameless. You left them and walked away.” “I am their mother,” Sara said. “I have rights.” “You left them alone, and now you want to take them away from me? They are used to me now.” But Sara was determined. “You have to give them back to me. I’ll see you in court.”
On the day of the court hearing, the judge listened to both Sara’s and Harry’s stories. Harry had already lost his main job and only edited videos from time to time. He earned little money. Meanwhile, Sara had found work again as an interior designer and was now earning more than her ex-husband. After the discussion, the judge decided to give full custody of the children to Sara.
Harry was terribly saddened. He knew how to take care of his children. During the last six months, when Sara had not been by their side, he had been the one doing everything for them. The judge said, “Mr. Harry, you may see your children and take them with you two days a week. Every month, you must pay 860 dollars for the children’s support. The case is closed.”
When Sara was preparing to leave with the children, they did not want to leave their father. Cody quickly hugged Harry and let go of his mother’s hand. “You are tearing us apart,” he said, crying. Then he added, “We want both Mommy and Daddy.”
Those words broke Sara’s heart. She started crying so hard that she could not stop. She went over to the children and hugged them tightly. At that moment, Sara understood that her children did not need only a mother or only a father. They needed both of them.
