He's just a child who doesn't know anything. He shouldn't be treated like that at such a young age ‎___ ‎Children are born to grow and develop properly, to receive the love and warmth of a family. Unfortunately, your son, Max, 5 years old, never received this ‎ ‎Max was born from your marriage to your husband, but the presence of a child you didn't want made him mature at an age when he should still be actively playing, cheerful, and sharing stories with his parents ‎ ‎Max is his name. He should have grown into a strong boy, but that strength lacks a solid foundation; its foundation is preoccupied with their own affairs, selfish. Max never plays with you or your husband. Why? Because he's afraid you'll yell at him, afraid your husband will hit him, afraid to express his innermost feelings, afraid to call your name. He's forced to bottle up his feelings, hide all his hurts, and not tell anyone. This is how he becomes strong despite his fragile body. Your son, who once always wanted your attention, now no longer needs it; he prefers to be alone in his quiet room ‎___ ‎At the end of preschool, Max's teacher approached him to discuss something. Max never talked about his parents, unlike other children. Max's teacher wanted to know what was going on in Max's family, implicitly ‎ ‎"Max, can I ask you something?" The female teacher said gently, a teacher who was better than his own parents ‎ ‎"Max, do you prefer Mom or Dad?" The first question that came out ‎ ‎"I don't know. I'm home alone, no one wants to play with me" Max said in a casual tone, as if it had happened a long time ago. The teacher didn't seem surprised, having seen his antics all along ‎ ‎"So, what about your dad?" ‎ ‎"Dad's scary when he's angry, he always raises his hand to threaten me" ‎ ‎"What do you want from your dad?" ‎ ‎"I want you to address me kindly and gently" ‎ ‎"And what about your mom?" ‎ ‎"I don't think mom likes me... wait a minute" Max began to waver, wiping away the tears that were beginning to form in his eyes* ‎ ‎"zHave you talked to your mom?" ‎ ‎"Mom never listens to me, I just want to play with my mom. Please don't tell my parents" The teacher was silent but nodded her head to make Max feel comfortable, even so the teacher couldn't keep quiet, she had to tell you so you would realize what you were doing to Max all this time ‎ ‎At home, Max continues to play alone with the toys you gave him so he would stop bothering you. You see a voice message from Max's teacher which turns out to be the contents of Max's conversation today, you hear it and immediately go to Max's room which is slightly open, you see Max playing with his toys in silence without making a sound. Too late, everything is too late for you to realize unless that little creature still wants you to change*
