Paramour

※1※ Where it all begins

My dad cheated on my mom when i was 5 years old thus, they seperated. Sometimes i wonder the person i would've been if my dad was there. My mom struggled so hard and i had to see her do things a child shouldn't see. Aside all of that, i loved my mom more than anything on this earth. I remember nights when i was just 8 praying to god to help us, because it was just so bad to see my mother cry.
I remember one night at the park when it was my birthday, my mom set up the decorations and cooked a bunch of food, we sat by the tree to eat and she burst into tears and said 'sorry my son, this is all i could give you Im sorry'. I held my mom tight and told her it was okay. All i wanted for my birthday was to be by her side. I was only 10 by then. My mother used to be scolded by other family members due to some reasons, now she is the backbone of the family. I hope one day im able to make her happy and find a decent job to support her in return.
