First let me say that the reason for this post is that I want to understand the dominican mind...help me on this one. I can't comprehend.
I have run across this several times here where a mother has an opportunity to go to the USA or Europe and leaves her child behind to be cared for by a family member. Now in all the instances that I am familar with...the mother and her family lived a pretty decent life here in the DR. Recently this wonderful little boy is going to be abandoned by his mom...he has no father. He is the nicest little boy and I just feel terrible for him when she starts talking about going to USA soon...in front of him. He knows what is going on and he looks so sad.
I want to tell her and her new husband that life does not stand still for this little boy while mom is away. She will cut out his heart in the process. All the gold in the world is not worth the time she will be away from him. Be true to your children first. Tell the husband that he will have to deal with the situation but that she is not abandoning her son.
Another one is a darling little girl. The mom went to Europe. Came back three years later. The child did not want to be around her for a few days. The child is forced to live with the mom. Then the mom leaves again for Europe. The child is sent back to the grandmother. If that does not screw with the childs mind...what will.
So tell me...is money that big of a deal. If you have a small home, a job, food, clothing....why do you always need more. Why sell your soul to the devil?
