"The Golden Stepmother" - An Alternative Story

The Story

You must have read a lot of stories. And no doubt you have encountered the image of the "evil stepmother" - the second wife, represented only by the negative side: envious, greedy, bad… But as we know, there are no black and white characters in life and we must think: Who created this insidious image? Isn't it the child who finds it hard to bear the thought that his father loves another woman who is NOT his mother? Who is the evil stepmother in our time? This is a woman, like everyone else, who fights for her right to love, home and her own family. And he has that right, like everyone else! But there is another factor, another "mountain" to overcome. Envy and malice are the product of unsuccessful people, of those who have suffered some loss, failure. The first wife's dissatisfaction is almost always passed on to the child, and it is her weapon to destroy the ex-husband's new love. Even more so if the evil stepmother is not as ugly as in fairy tales, but a beautiful, attractive and talented woman. And suddenly става SHE becomes a stumbling block, especially if the DAUGHTER is looking for competition with her. As in fairy tales. But in reality it is often the opposite. The "evil stepmother" suffers undeserved reproaches and insults, endures unworthy behavior, not because she deserves it, but simply because SHE is the NEW, LOVED, CHOSEN. She gives much more than she should, but she is not obliged to. She is obliged to have correct behavior, but there is no such attitude towards her. She suffers. Yes. Like any other woman who feels the presence of a third person in her love affair. The modern stepmother is a victim of foreign complexes and old enmities. But she, like everyone else is a free person with the right to choose. And she must choose her personal happiness! It will be truly understood only if the DAUGHTER one day becomes the EVIL STEPMOTHER herself. And this is quite likely! Shouldn't the tales be rewritten? !!
