After the divorce, my 7-year-old son changed completely — he became aggressive, shut me out of his world, and blamed me for everything. I thought it was just a reaction to the separation, until one night I overheard him whispering: “I hate her.” That’s when I realized someone else was poisoning his heart — and that person was his paternal grandmother.
For nine years, I believed I had a good marriage — until a woman from my husband’s workplace sent me a message: “I’m sorry, I didn’t know he was married.” After that, I discovered his betrayal with six different women. I was devastated. We divorced immediately.
Everything collapsed — for him and for me. But I tried to maintain stability for our son. However, his behavior changed drastically. He became violent, distant, and blamed me for everything. I realized I was losing my connection with him.
One night, I heard him playing with a toy phone, whispering angrily: “I hate her. I want to live with you.” He believed I was to blame for the separation. Later, I found out that his grandmother had told him I was the one who broke up the family.
That was a wake-up call. Together with my ex-husband, we decided to talk openly with our son. He took responsibility and told him: “It’s not your mom’s fault. It’s mine.”
From that day on, the healing began. Therapy, honest conversations, and unconditional love helped us rebuild our relationship. The wounds were deep, but slowly, through sincerity and support, we managed to restore trust and our bond.
