Before getting married to Ms. Thu Thao, Mr. Thanh Van experienced a breakup and had 2 children. Sharing the reason, Mr. Thanh Van said: "My previous marriage broke up because she said we were no longer compatible with each other. Suddenly she left and left two children for me to raise." The actions of his ex-wife made Mr. Thanh Van feel depressed and "afraid of women".
Some time after the divorce, Mr. Thanh Van and Ms. Thu Thao happened to meet each other at a party, both were introduced by friends. With the mindset of "being familiar but not placing too much importance on love", but when he saw Ms. Thu Thao's gentleness and sincere affection, Mr. Thanh Van decided to confirm the relationship.
However, because Mr. Thanh Van had a wife and two children of his own, Ms. Thu Thao's family did not approve. "I faced a lot of pressure, from family, neighbors and friends when everyone talked and wondered why I was not married yet, why did I agree with someone who was broken but had 2 children?", Ms. Thu Thao confessed.
Similar to his wife, Mr. Thanh Van also faced equal pressure from his two children who did not want him to enter the next marriage. At the same time, Ms. Thu Thao also encountered opposition from her husband's two stepchildren.
"The children are very difficult to teach. One 12-year-old and one 10-year-old refused to call me mom, at first they just called me aunt. However, when the children passed their teenage years, began to go out and stumble in society, and encountered many sad things, they did not dare to tell their father. At these times, I am the child's companion, silently helping from behind. After a few times, the children were moved and realized my feelings. Now they are willing to call me mother, I am very happy," Ms. Thu Thao emotionally recounted.
Understanding his wife's hardships, Mr. Thanh Van often encouraged and comforted her: "Knowing that she is stubborn and always hides her pain inside, I often comfort her. Because I really appreciate this wife, because she sacrificed her life to take care of and raise the family, I love her very much.
Thought they had passed the "turbulence", Mr. Thanh Van and Ms. Thu Thao continued to fall into "crisis" when their business lost money. According to shares, Mr. Thanh Van owns a small store selling supplies. After getting married, the two expanded their business and did well.
However, not long after that, the difficult market led to the business facing many obstacles and falling into debt. “Initially, I did a small business, but my wife wanted to expand. But after the economic crisis, customers snatched my money, which made me depressed, and I also blamed my wife. That led to a cold war in the family," Mr. Thanh Van recounted.
During difficult times, Mr. Thanh Van was often drunk and even scolded his wife. Even so, Ms. Thu Thao still stood by his side to encourage and support him in raising capital so the couple could start over. Through his wife's good qualities, Mr. Thanh Van was touched and loved his "other half" more.
Ms. Thu Thao was emotional: "At that time I was under enough pressure, the lack of finances made me very sad. But I think I should try to endure because everything will pass. In the end, the debt has been resolved and life is much better now."
Not only Mr. Thanh Van, but his two stepchildren now also love Ms. Thu Thao wholeheartedly. Faced with Ms. Thu Thao's tolerant heart towards her husband and family, Meritorious Artist Oc Thanh Van expressed her appreciation to the couple.
