Upon discovering that she had just won a tidy sum in the lottery, the 34-year-old woman did not hesitate for a single second to call her mother to share the good news. She hoped to be able to celebrate this unexpected gain with joy and good humor, but if her mother was initially delighted with the news, the conversation quickly took an unpleasant turnas explained The Mirror.
“So you're going to share with the family “, asked the mother without any embarrassment. An astonishing reaction which did not fail to challenge the thirty-year-old. Mother of a young autistic boy, it was obvious to her that this money was mainly going to be used for his son. But obviously, his mother didn't really seem to be of this opinion. It was a hard blow for the young woman, who had always felt isolated in the face of her child's needs.
Mother of a young autistic child, she never felt supported
Since the birth of her son, the young woman explained that she had already felt a certain distance from those close to her. His brother and sister, in particular, were not there to support him faced with the challenges of caring for their child. If she had hoped to find at least moral support, she had to go through these ordeals alone.
Remembering this lack of support, the young woman was determined to not sharing your winnings. For her, this money must be used as a priority in order to secure her son's future and to lighten her own financial burden. Despite this complicated situation requiring a certain empathy, his mother, disappointed, did not hesitate to reproach him. “Your son needs a strong family around him“, she allegedly told him, suggesting that she was ruining this dynamic. Her brothers and sisters also accused her of let yourself be blinded by money. So was she right not to share her winnings?
Reddit supports him
The reproaches were so overwhelming that the young mother no longer knew if she was right or wrong. She decided to share her story on
Reddit in the hope of seeing things more clearly and perhaps finding a solution to the problem. And if his family hadn't given him their support, it was the users of Reddit who offered him theirs.
And Internet users have not been kind to the thirty-year-old's family. For them, it was obvious, she was right to favor her son. Some even went so far as to advise him to distance himself from his loved ones, while others recommended that he seek professional help in order to properly manage his money.
