My son and his wife announced that they were expecting their fifth child, and I simply could no longer handle taking care of the kids. I stepped back — and then they called the police, and what happened next surprised everyone. My son and his wife announced that they were expecting their fifth child, but I was already at my limit — years of helping and caregiving had drained all my strength.
So I decided to step aside… And then they turned to the police.
What happened afterward shocked everyone. I had dedicated ten years of my life to my son’s family.
From morning until night, I was there — cooking, washing, taking the kids to school, rocking my grandchildren when they were sick. My mornings began with their laughter, and my nights — with a tiredness I no longer noticed.
When one day my son and his wife invited me to dinner, I thought they finally just wanted to thank me.
But instead of words of gratitude, I heard:
— Mom, we’re having our fifth child. I smiled, but inside everything collapsed. I knew exactly what it meant: new sleepless nights, endless responsibilities.
A few days later, they suggested that I “stay officially” — and even pay for housing and food.
I couldn’t believe my ears. My pension already went toward their needs, and now they wanted even more.
The next morning, I didn’t go. I simply stayed home — for the first time in many years.
And the next day, my son showed up at my door with the police… What happened after that stunned everyone…

I sat in the kitchen, feeling a kind of emptiness that, for the first time in ten years, felt like real freedom.
My breathing was steady, my thoughts — clear. No one demanded anything, no one called, no one asked for help. Only silence.
But when I heard a knock at the door, my heart skipped.
On the doorstep stood officers. Calm, polite, but professional, they told me that my son and his wife had filed a complaint — claiming that I “wasn’t fulfilling my duties” and had left the children unsupervised.
I sighed and smiled to myself. I had never felt so strong.
