The woman\u2019s family was a\u00a0happy one, until her son\u2019s girlfriend came into\u00a0it.\n\n

A\u00a0woman, named Andrea, who\u2019s 60\u00a0years old, wrote\u00a0us a\u00a0very emotional letter, in\u00a0which she told\u00a0us her story, that could easily become a\u00a0scenario for a\u00a0drama\u00a0movie. She\u2019s a\u00a0widow and her husband, Alex, passed away 3\u00a0years ago. Her son, Robert, is\u00a030, and he\u2019s a\u00a0very successful young man who has probably everything that could be\u00a0bought for\u00a0money: a\u00a0luxurious car, a\u00a0nice new house and a\u00a0very good and stable income.\n

Andrea shared that Robert is\u00a0earning his wealth by\u00a0hard work, and she was sincerely worried that he\u00a0wouldn\u2019t have time to\u00a0create a\u00a0family because of\u00a0being always busy with his job. But Robert did have a\u00a0relationship\u00a0with a\u00a0woman, 28, whose name was Jessica.\n

Andrea wrote, \u201cThey\u2019d been in\u00a0a\u00a0relationship for 1\u00a0year before Robert finally decided to\u00a0introduce Jessica to\u00a0me. He\u00a0also was going to\u00a0ask me\u00a0for my\u00a0motherly blessing, because he\u00a0and Jessica were engaged. Of\u00a0course, I\u00a0was disappointed that they decided to\u00a0get\u00a0married, and\u00a0I didn\u2019t even have a\u00a0chance to\u00a0meet her before my\u00a0son proposed to\u00a0her. But I\u00a0didn\u2019t say anything, thinking that Robert is\u00a0a\u00a0grown-up boy, and he\u00a0knows what he\u2019s doing.\u201d\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n

Their first meeting went not as\u00a0Andrea expected. Jessica showed up\u00a0in\u00a0their house and immediately started boasting about her education, literacy and \u201cnoble\u201d origin. Andrea was silent almost all the time, Jessica was presenting herself in\u00a0the best possible way, but her heart was beating like mad. She wrote, \u201cI\u00a0knew that my\u00a0son\u2019s choice was extremely wrong.\u201d\n\n

Andrea wrote, \u201cThis young woman, she obviously didn\u2019t love my\u00a0son at\u00a0all. She loved his money and the attributes of\u00a0luxury that he\u00a0was earning. When I\u00a0once asked her if\u00a0she wanted kids with Robert, she made a\u00a0grimace and said, \u2019You must be\u00a0kidding, Andrea! I\u2019m going to\u00a0enjoy life, and kids will make it\u00a0impossible!\u2019\u201d\n

Andrea was hesitating a\u00a0lot, but she never talked to\u00a0Robert about how inappropriate his future wife\u2019s behavior was. Moreover, Jessica was very sweet in\u00a0Robert\u2019s presence and was always polite and cordial with Andrea when he\u00a0was around.\n

Andrea decided that Robert should be able to see how wrong he was while choosing Jessica to be his wife. She didn\u2019t want to push him to this decision, she wanted him to see on his own, even if it would cost him a lot.\n\n

\n

Robert\u2019s wedding was approaching, but Andrea wasn\u2019t happy at\u00a0all.\n\n

Andrea wrote, \u201cSo, their wedding day was coming in\u00a0a\u00a0week, and Jessica and\u00a0I had an\u00a0especially tough conversation. She came to\u00a0my\u00a0house together with Robert to\u00a0pick up\u00a0her dress that the courier brought me\u00a0earlier as\u00a0per our arrangement. It\u00a0was a\u00a0third dress already, as\u00a0she was going to\u00a0appear in\u00a03\u00a0different dresses during the wedding.\u201d\n

Andrea just asked Jessica if\u00a0it\u00a0was so\u00a0necessary to\u00a0change 3\u00a0dresses during a\u00a0wedding, especially when neither Jessica nor her parents contributed to\u00a0the wedding financially, all was on\u00a0Robert.\n

And then Jessica fumed. When Robert went to the bathroom, she started hissing at Andrea and calling her names, trying to insult her. Andrea recalled, \u201cShe said I\u2019m an illiterate, shallow person, and that I don\u2019t understand how cool it is to have 3 wedding dresses. She claimed I was jealous, she was saying really nasty thing. And, on top of that, she said that I shouldn\u2019t appear at their wedding, that she wants to cut ties with me and will persuade Robert to do so, too. Because she\u2019s ashamed of me, and such a successful man as Robert is, should be ashamed of such a \u2018shallow\u2019 mother.\u201d\n\n

Andrea still appeared at\u00a0her son\u2019s wedding, despite Jessica\u2019s brutal words. She came there not to\u00a0feel happy for her son, but to\u00a0teach a\u00a0vile woman some nice lesson. She wrote, \u201cI\u00a0was going to\u00a0make a\u00a0speech, and after my\u00a0speech Jessica was supposed to\u00a0be\u00a0totally broken. Or, if\u00a0her feelings for my\u00a0son were still sincere, she would swallow this bitter pill, and would stay with him. So, this was also a\u00a0check-up for my\u00a0DIL.\u201d\n

Andrea was given a\u00a0word as\u00a0a\u00a0groom\u2019s mom. Everyone was listening to\u00a0her, expecting her to\u00a0say something to\u00a0her son and her DIL. And she did say something that made a\u00a0stir at\u00a0the wedding venue.\n

She took the microphone and said, \u201cToday, my\u00a0son is\u00a0getting married. As\u00a0a\u00a0mom, I\u00a0should have said that I\u2019m letting him\u00a0go. But as\u00a0his\u00a0boss, I\u2019m saying that I\u2019m firing him. I\u00a0don\u2019t approve of\u00a0his choice, as\u00a0his now wife humiliated me\u00a0many times. So, I\u2019ll leave it\u00a0up\u00a0to\u00a0them to\u00a0start a\u00a0new life, a\u00a0new job and go\u00a0through this all together.\u201d\n

Everyone was silent. Then Jessica started shouting and bombarded Robert with questions. Robert told her that he was going to tell her the details after the wedding, and revealed that his mom was actually a chairperson of his company. His dad, Alex, used to own the company, but after his death Andrea became the owner of the business. And she was actually her son\u2019s direct boss.\n\n
