The circumstances a person may find himself in sometimes limit his life. What to do? Be sad, blame, regret, or look for an opportunity to live, accepting these circumstances as reality. Discussions about this in the article “Escape from Life-Limiting Circumstances.” Several real stories support the reasoning. Story 1. On one of the balconies of a high-rise building there was a banner with a number phone and the sentence: “Call me and I’ll sing for you.” A young man with limited movement, limited communication and the ability to live a full life, sang songs of his own composition over the phone. He didn't ask for anything. He sang. He shared what he could do. Story 2. A girl was born with mental retardation. Kind, with an open soul. She was growing up and wanted to communicate and be part of society. The fine arts teacher began publishing her drawings with the note: “The author is a girl with disabilities looking for friends.” The drawings were sold. The parents were able to pay for a companion, and the girl made friends. Story 3. “I gave birth to you and served you, now it’s your turn to serve me,” the mother repeated, every time the girl wanted to go for a walk and communicate with friends. Of course, mother did not mix the grain, as in the fairy tale about Cinderella, and did not demand that it be sorted out. But constant emotional abuse was the norm towards my daughter. The daughter grew up and continued to serve her mother, combining studies and part-time work in between. One day she said to herself: "Stop! Enough!" I found relatives in a distant country and left. I started everything from "0". I began to learn to live without habitual violence. If you think it's easy, you're wrong. It is difficult to perceive life as pleasant and not pull your head into your shoulders in anticipation of reproaches, blackmail and insults. Story 4. - I need your support so that I have enough strength. I lived with a tyrant husband for the sake of the children. My parents did not support my desire to get a divorce. After another physical assault, I decided to run away from my husband. I started saving money and looking for a place where I could escape with my children. I endured it for another year and prepared myself. She went for a walk with the children and never returned. She left. I told the children everything on the train. The divorce process is currently underway. What conclusion can be drawn from these stories? In difficult life situations, they all looked for a way out, looked for help and found it. There is always help, it is important to accept it. Complaints and searching for those to blame will not help solve the problem.
