Woman Raises Son’s Daughter He Left 10 Years Ago,

Doris Dakkar, a single mother, raised her son Nicholas after his father left. Years later, at sixty, she faced a similar abandonment when Nicholas left his daughter Paige with her to vacation with his new wife, Donna, after his first wife’s death. Paige, grieving her mother, grew quiet, and Doris hoped the break would help. However, Nicholas never returned, selling his house and cutting contact, leaving Doris to raise Paige alone.

Ten years later, Nicholas returned to find his mother’s home abandoned. A neighbor revealed Paige had married, and she and Doris lived in a luxurious mansion. Expecting a warm welcome, Nicholas was met with cold indifference. Paige, now thriving, and Doris confronted him about his abandonment. When Nicholas asked for money, citing hardship, Paige gave him $5,000 and the keys to the old house, making it clear he’d get nothing more. Doris, emotional but resolute, supported Paige’s decision. Nicholas, escorted out, sat in his car, bitter and unrepentant, lamenting his suffering and lack of gratitude, blind to the pain he caused his family.
