Hospital - Ward 4B, Bed 26
Some people are lucky to have a happy family while others are not as lucky. While taking care of my mom in hospital I got the chance to chat with some of the patients. One of them has a sad story to tell. How she was badly treated by her husband and children.She was a hit-and-run victim. She was hit by a lorry while on her way to work. The driver sped off. She was in the hospital for several months before the doctors gave her the green light to go home. The day my mom was discharged, she was still in her bed waiting for her boss to come and take her home. She had been on her own for more than 10 years. She worked in an oil palm estate.
The only worry she had was her leg. Several metals were inserted into her right ankle. She hoped that her leg will heal fast so that she could start working. No work no money. Her wages was not much but at least was enough to survive.
Here’s her story as related to me.
She had 3 sons whom according to her , beat her up with a hockey stick. They broke her right leg. She showed me the old wound from the beating. Not only her sons beat her, her husband too (he had died since). He broke her neck once. Her life was a nightmare.
She once had a farm and worked hard to feed her children. From 1 cow to 3 cows. The farm was under her name. When her 3 sons grew up, they forced her to sell the farm and gave them money. She refused and that was when they beat her with a hockey stick. She had broken leg and had to be operated on. Finally she sold the farm and gave them RM5,000 (1,531.35 USD) each. She told me, God has eyes. She only hoped that God will punish them one day. According to her, she had no news of her children and couldn’t care less what happened to them. She was happy with her new life.

If we all throw our problems in a pile, we would grab ours back when we see what others have
I always feel lucky and thankful for what i have. I may not be rich but I live a contented life.
I think, this is the role of a mother who sacrificed all the hardships for the sake of the family without expecting anything in return.Some parents are so lucky that, they are being taken care of well.Since i work with such people, i can understand well about such situations. Parents cannot be replaced by anyone under any circumstances. Mother is a Mother. Keep up your good work.

Sorry to hear about your cancer. Hope your health has improved.
My mom suffered from gouts and she couldn't lift her arms and wear clothes. She depended on me to bathe her. The pain was unbearable but after she went for Qi Gong class(a type of Chinese exercises), she began to show improvement and could lift her arms and took her own bath. That was in the 90s. She passed away 4 years ago.
As for the life story of this woman, I could only listen to her woes. Whether the story was true or not, I do not know. I hope she finds peace and happiness in her life. May God bless her.
In Chinese culture, parents are important. We are taught to respect and show our filial piety to our parents.
I've heard of parents been chased out by their children the moment they changed their properties into the children's names. But never heard of sons beating the mother.
