Everything in life has a lesson

Her story told in a letter to a Siberian healer a certain N. She writes about guilt, heavy retribution for what she did and repentance. The letter was published in one of the healer's books.

Her mother died on the third day after giving birth. The father soon brought another woman into the house, who took care of the little girl and replaced her mother. The stepmother spent the night by her bed when the baby was sick. Then she helped her do her homework, instilled in the schoolgirl diligence and respect for her studies. When the author of the letter was 12 years old, her father walked around and threw his daughter on the stepmother. In the letter, the woman writes: “More precisely, the foster mother, who did not give me to the orphanage, continued to educate and take care of me as before.” The father did not give money for maintenance, but, on the contrary, took away valuables from the house. “I was left to her as an unnecessary thing, but she never took it out on me for being the daughter of a man who betrayed her, and I never heard her say anything of reproach. She often cried at night. She must have suffered from my father's betrayal. She did not yet know that the apple did not fall far from the apple tree and that the main betrayal awaited her.

Years later, the stepmother met a man. Before the marriage, she told her daughter how 18 years ago she took a screaming baby in her arms and how she immediately quieted down. At that moment, she decided to marry her father. She added that God had chosen her as a mother. Family and friends scolded. They will have their own children, and another child may grow up cruel and ungrateful. But the woman did not give birth to her children, so that the girl did not have competitors in the person of a brother or sister, and if she is against the marriage of her stepmother, then she will not marry.

From the outside, it seems that the adoptive mother allowed the girl a lot and even offered her to decide for herself. In the people it is called “put on the neck”, but if your child is punished for some misconduct, then with adopted children behave more cautiously.

The wedding took place. The stepmother sold her apartment (another lesson!) and they moved into a huge apartment in downtown Moscow. The new husband of the stepmother held a high position, had connections. The girl had chic things, expensive jewelry, her car, and she realized that she looked brilliant in all this splendor. His stepmother was a modest man and still dressed.

One day a girl met a former classmate who asked, “Did you marry a millionaire?” She explained that the millionaire is her stepfather, and the friend suggested that the stepfather is today, and tomorrow may meet another. And if her own father took everything from her, what about someone else's uncle? “If he were my husband, I would know how to manage his money,” she said. The thirst for profit and a beautiful life drove her to dirty deeds.

She inadvertently ran past her stepfather half-naked, languidly lowered her eyes, making it clear that she was in love, and once broke down in tears with him and promised that she would kill herself because she could not share her beloved man with another woman. In general, the 18-year-old lady used all the banal theatrical arsenal of women's tricks and arranged her nets, which caught a mature man. He promised to divorce her stepmother.

A conversation took place, after which the adoptive mother left the house without telling her a word. The girl got her way. Became the wife of a rich uncle and realized how rich people feel. One day an old woman stopped her at the entrance. She said she came to see her niece. I brought her a book and nobody's home. The grandmother showed the package and asked the girl to keep the book, and the niece will return home after work and go to her for the book.

In the evening she and her husband were going to the theater, but suddenly she became ill. The ambulance doctors washed the stomach, gave an injection, but it was so bad that it seemed that the soul was leaving the body. The phone rang and the voice of an old woman rang in the phone. She said the woman who sacrificed her youth and raised her has died. “I learned from her where you live. When she closed her eyes, she vowed to avenge her life. I gave you the gospel. I needed you to bring your death into the house. On this gospel I have done your destruction, you will die, she said.

The old woman added that she picked up the unfortunate woman, crushed by betrayal, and brought her to her communal room, and the girl did not even ask where she went. After all, they sold the apartment when they moved to their stepfather. The grandmother said she took on the role of judge for the ungrateful and hung up.

The new owner of the huge apartment remembered about the package. In the book was inserted a note about the funeral slave, and... inserted her name. She became sick, repented and asked for help from the famous healer. And by the way, as a rule, such unreliable husbands leave sick wives.

Don't put your mouth on someone else's good

Another instructive story from the books of Natalia Stepanova on the theme of the famous proverb “Greed of the Fraer ruined”. At the door to the author of the letter called, on the threshold stood a woman, blackened with grief — the mother of a familiar guy. She was wearing black clothes and said her son Denis had died.

He tried in vain to care for the girl she came to, but she liked the other. Entering the apartment, the woman said that she grew up in an orphanage, that she had no one, that there was one son who did not even get married and did not leave her grandchildren, and that she could love her daughter-in-law like a daughter. The woman begged for the girl to become the wife of the deceased Denis. She seemed moved, but she needed someone to stay after her son's funeral.

The girl reminded that the coffin in the registry office will not carry, what the uninvited guest promised - she will rewrite everything she has on her, and she will go to the monastery. Named a huge amount that collected for his son, promised to leave the apartment, cottage. Said that in return, the girl should only be in a wedding dress and veil at the coffin, put a ring on the finger of the deceased. Said it would ease her grief and she would consider the girl her daughter-in-law.

In the evening, the girl came to Denis’ mother. In the room on the sofa lay a chic dress, veil, gloves and shoes. It was like a dream. It was creepy. She was supposed to spend time in the apartment before the funeral. The letter said: The outfit was magnificent and apparently cost a lot of money. Denis' mother worked as a chief specialist at the bank. The apartment was very large and expensively furnished. What to conceal sin... I've been trying on her mentally. “It’s all going to be mine soon,” I thought, and I didn’t want to think about what was still to be done in the room where Denis’s coffin stood.

The girl thought: the actors are filmed in a movie where they kiss the dead. I imagined she was in a movie. The mother of Denis entered, admired the beauty of the “daughter-in-law” and led her to the hall. Denise was asleep. The woman said that she brought her son a bride and now they will be married. She'll just turn on the wedding march.

The hostess took on the role of an employee of the registry office and asked the question befitting the moment: “Do you agree to become a wife?” Then she told her son to open his hand, take the ring and put it on his finger. Another girl put a dead man on her finger.

The mother of the deceased man declared them husband and wife. She made the girl kiss him on the lips, laid a table with wine. With fear, the girl drank more than she needed, and the woman gave her everything. When she was drunk, she thought she was rich. The hostess showed her a packet of dollars, but she had to spend the night at the coffin, and she kept telling her to kiss her son.

There were no escorts. Just fake daughter-in-law and mother-in-law. Before lowering the coffin into the grave, the girl again clinged to Denis' lips. She entered the role, so to speak, and it seemed to her that she was really burying her husband.

The next day, the woman gave her the gift papers and said, "You didn't even ask why he died, and he took his life because of you." You value yourself very much and you don’t notice anyone around you. My son didn't even notice.

His mother said that he dedicated poems to his beloved, that he was worried when he went where she was, and how the boy grieved when the girl once again drove him away. The woman read in her son's diary that she mocked him and humiliated him in front of everyone, and added: "You broke him and destroyed him." In the suicide note, the son asked for forgiveness and explained the reason for his departure. He was loved and rejected. There was hatred in his mother's eyes. She took revenge on the one who lost her son. I gave her the keys and told her she'd be gone tomorrow. Later, the mother of the deceased young man was poisoned.

The fake daughter-in-law became the owner of the good acquired by someone else's labor, but very soon she was diagnosed with cancer. She dreamed of Denis and his mother every night. They greeted her with flowers at the train station, called her. She asked Stepanova for help, and the healer was ready to remove the damage, because she had no right to judge anyone. When Stepanova called on the phone specified in the letter, she was informed that the girl had died

Slavery ring

The author of the third letter admits that 40 years ago she was put on the “ring of slavery”, subjected to her will, but the forced marriage was happy. But this case is instructive, can warn about the troubles of the young and inexperienced.

The girl was friends with a guy named Anton. We met before he joined the army, and she waited three years for him. When he returned, he became jealous of his girlfriend. There was a fight. To teach her a lesson, she went dancing with another.

Dima was 12 years older. When they returned from the dance floor, he persuaded the girl to come to his house. His father opened the door and said, “Let me see who my Dimka is drying on.” He invited them to drink tea and pies. There were many icons in the house, a lamp was burning. "Do you believe in God?" asked Dimin's father. "I don't know," the girl replied. “But I know that God exists and that prayer can do anything. I can take water and say it with a prayer, you will drink this water, and there will be no more men for you than my Dimka.

The girl laughed. She didn’t believe it, and the man offered to try it. He sat her on a stool, gave her a glass of water in his hands, and began reading a love conspiracy. After extinguishing the candle, he told the guest to drink water. Then Dima sang songs to the guitar, and she already felt that she had known him for a long time.

In the morning, the boy was going to walk the girl home. His father looked out of his room and said, “A stranger has come to the house and you are leaving as a daughter-in-law.” Another month he and Dima met, then filed a statement to the registry office. Anton asked for forgiveness, but all her thoughts were about Dima.

On the eve of the wedding, Dima's father called her to him and he said that they live according to their old laws, that they are married with copper rings, that his son's wife should respect their order. Denis’ mother was quieter than the water, below the grass

On the wedding day, the head of the family took the young by the hands, blessed and married himself. Giving his daughter-in-law a brass ring, he said: "Hold and wear, slave Hope, a ring, and you will henceforth be a slave of your husband Dmitry.".

She felt like a dog in front of her owner. Nadezhda lived in marriage for 40 years, and when Dmitry died, she was freed from induced slavery. “Husband did not raise his voice, did not offend, but I trembled before him and was afraid of losing his love,” she wrote. My life was completely in his power. Looking back over the years, I understood everything, and I understood it since he died. He knew exactly the date of his death. He asked to put the copper rings under his pillow and added that when he died and her head cleared, let her forgive him for everything. He loved her until the last day and confessed that his father knew a lot and helped his son, who was jealous of Hope for Anton.

And the veil fell from her eyes. Anton had been drinking by then, and she did not know whether to curse her husband or rejoice "for having experienced inhuman love and affection for this man.".
