Memory Monday. The way my mother was when I was a child (Es-Eng)

in Aliento9 months ago
Que alegría volver a estar en esta maravillosa ¨AlientoCommunity¨: La semana pasada les comenté porque escogí esta comunidad para compartir mis memorias de los días lunes; una iniciativa creada por nuestro amigo @ericvancewalton. Si hay una comunidad que representa a los de habla hispana sin dudas es esta, y me encantaría que los hispanos hablantes podamos acompañar esta excelente iniciativa que ha organizado nuestro amigo, una idea genial de guardar por siempre en nuestra ¨cadena¨ de ¨bloques¨ nuestras memorias, anécdotas e historias para que nuestros descendientes pudieran conocer como han sido sus ancestros

What a joy to be back in this wonderful ¨AlientoCommunity¨: Last week I told you why I chose this community to share my memories of Mondays; an initiative created by our friend @ericvancewalton. If there is a community that represents Spanish speakers, it is undoubtedly this one, and I would love for Spanish speakers to be able to accompany this excellent initiative that our friend has organized, a great idea to keep forever in our “chain” of “blocks.” our memories, anecdotes and stories so that our descendants could know what their ancestors were like

María Luisa a sido una gran Madre, de esas mujeres que darían todo por hijo. La vida no le ha sido fácil, sufrió violencia de genero a manos de mi Padre, soporto ser una mujer golpeada por ochos largos años, hasta que tuve una edad razonable para que se pudiera separar de mi padre y ella por sí misma poder cuidar de mi

María Luisa has been a great Mother, one of those women who would give everything for a child. Life has not been easy for her, she suffered gender violence at the hands of my Father, she endured being a beaten woman for eight long years, until I was of a reasonable age so that she could separate from my father and she could take care of herself. my


Fue una decisión muy valiente, dado que mi Padre era una persona violenta, y sus reacciones eran impredecibles, pero además, escogió el peor momento para su separación, ya que nuestro país atravesaba la peor crisis de la historia, y todo el dinero que recibía por su trabajo no alcanzaba ni para comer, pero a pesar de eso jamás me falto que comer, si tuviera que dejar de comer para que yo lo hiciera no dudaba un solo segundo. Si tuviera que escoger una palabra para definir a mi vieja diría que es una gran guerrera

It was a very brave decision, given that my Father was a violent person, and his reactions were unpredictable, but also, he chose the worst moment for their separation, since our country was going through the worst crisis of history, and all the money he received for his work was not even enough to eat, but despite that I never lacked something to eat, if he had to stop eating for me to do it I would not hesitate for a single second. If I had to choose a word to define my mother, I would say that she is a great warrior


Se esforzó para que yo tuviera las mismas cosas que otros niños, y una oportunidad que todos tienen en la vida, se ocupó de que estudiara y obtuviera un título técnico, con el que me pueda defender en el campo laboral y ser alguien en esta vida. Nunca me falto el cariño de un Padre, ella se ocupó de cubrir su ausencia y ser una persona fuerte y varonil, y el cariño de Madre que me dio me hizo sensible, empático y amoroso. Entonces, ¿cómo era mi madre de niño? Una mujer guerrera, fuerte, apasionada, soñadora con los pies sobre la tierra, un verdadero ejemplo de Madre, la Mama que querrías tener. Desgraciadamente no tengo fotografías de niño con mi madre, y las pocas que tengo, antes las había publicado, es por eso que escogí editarlas en esta plataforma en línea ¨photofunia¨:  que es genial

He worked hard so that I had the same things as other children, and an opportunity that everyone has in life, he made sure that I studied and obtained a technical degree, with which I can defend myself in the work field and be someone in this life. I never lacked the affection of a Father, she took care of covering his absence and being a strong and manly person, and the Mother's affection that she gave me made me sensitive, empathetic and loving. So what was my mother like as a child? A warrior woman, strong, passionate, a dreamer with her feet on the ground, a true example of a Mother, the Mom you would like to have. Unfortunately I don't have photographs as a child with my mother, and the few that I have, I had previously published, that is why I chose to edit them on this online platform ¨photofunia¨:  that's great

The story of your brave mother reminds me about my wife cause she does a 9 to 5 job while I cannot give her financial support of late cause banned on medium so I am a terrible husband and an even terrible father really.

Thank you very much dear friend for this pleasant visit and support you give me.
Have a beautiful night

Saludos querido amigo, sin duda tu madre es una persona muy especial

Si querido amigo, es un ser con mucha luz

María Luisa sounds like a strong and brave woman.
I'm glad she was able to break free from that difficult situation and prioritize your well-being.
She's a true example of love and resilience. ❤️

Has recibido el apoyo de parte de nuestro proyecto. Que gran historia la de su madre. Una mujer sin duda alguna muy valiente.

Como sugerencia, entendemos que quiera enfocar la iniciativa en nuestra comunidad y agradecemos eso. Sin embargo está publicación pudo ir en nuestra comunidad amiga Motherhood, por ello le pedimos respetuosamente que en el futuro pueda enfocar sus publicaciones en el nicho correspondiente. Tenemos una publicación anclada con nuestras comunidades amigas. De igual manera si su publicación no se enfoca en ninguna de ellas, es bienvenido en Aliento.

Muchas gracias queridos amigos por el gran apoyo y la sugerencia
Vere con mas cuidado, el tema que trate la semana entrante

Les deseo a todos una hermosa mañana

Esta genial esta iniciativa de los lunes @jlufer...
Un abrazo!
Feliz día!

hola querida amiga @avellana
Si nuestro amigo ha tenido una idea genial al crear esta iniciativa
muy feliz de que sea de tu agrado
que tengas una maravillosa mañana

Your mom was a brave woman indeed. I am sure during that period, it wasn't easy for women to stand alone and feign for themselves not too talk of adding their children to the mix. But your mom worked against all odds and was able to provide for you and herself. I appreciate her for fighting those battles for you guys.

Good morning dear friend @iskawrites
My mother has been an exceptional woman, she has made a great effort to be who I am today.
I thank you with all my heart for the beautiful comment.
have a great day

Your Mom sounds like such a wonderful woman and Mother. I'm sorry she had to endure the hardships and the violence. It's so great that your Mom influenced you positively and you didn't continue the cycle. You seem like an very kind, empathetic individual.

My Dad had a horrible temper in his younger years but mellowed with age. No one ever taught him to process his negative emotions so anger would build up and then he would lash out. He never hit my Mom or us but he would break things and wouldn't speak to us sometimes for days on end. That had an impact on us.

I really appreciate you taking part in this. It was great to learn about your Mom!

My father had an illness, he suffered from jealousy, and that's what led him to do what he did. I don't think he had anyone to help him manage his emotions either.
I think Mom gave him enough time to change, but since she didn't, she had no choice but to make that decision and he was very brave to do so.

Thank you very much dear friend @ericvancewalton for the great support you always give me

My father was the jealous type too but he never physically hit my Mom. Your Mom was very brave, that couldn't have been an easy decision back then.

You're welcome and I appreciate you joining Memoir Monday again!

You are so right @jlufer, this particular Memoir was a very emotional topic. I also searched through albums, which brought smiles and tears and could not find many photos of my Mom and me when I was small.
Your mother was a strong woman to conquer all those adversities and still make sure you had a good education. Wonderful memories now are stored here for generations to come!

Yes, dear friend @lizelle, it has been very emotional to return to childhood time. I loved your post, and the things you have inherited from your mother, you will surely make exquisite baked goods.
My mother has been very brave to do what she did, at that time it was not very easy to make that determination.
Thank you very much for this pleasant visit and support you give me.
have a wonderful day
