After the breakups in their previous marriages, the two bravely took another step, together overcoming social prejudices, harmonizing with their children to create a new home.
In the program, MC Dinh Toan suggested the fear when the two came together. Ms. Phuong Thao, a teacher, had many worries because she had three children, while Mr. Tan Phong also had a small child. Her biggest concern was whether her new husband could make the children happy. In addition, she had to face the scrutiny of her family and neighbors. For his part, Mr. Phong received support from his mother but could not help but get into the rumors.
After nearly 5 years of living together, the biggest challenge for both of them is being in harmony with their own children. At first, Mr. Phong admitted that he was a bit hesitant, but luckily, Ms. Thao's children were old enough to understand the matter and feel her mother's joy. He gradually connected with his children through meals and outings. Although the children still keep calling him "uncle", his sincere care and fair attitude help the family get closer and closer.
From a professional perspective, psychologist Nguyen Huu Long believes that identification is not as important as affection. For children who are grown up, it is convenient that they are mature enough to understand that their mothers need new happiness, but they can also easily worry because their feelings are shared. He emphasized that the sincerity and way the husband takes care of his mother are the keys to opening their children's hearts.
In addition to the issue of children, the couple also went through other incidents. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr. Phong's work was difficult and he lost his mother, so he fell into crisis, often going to the alcohol to relieve his symptoms. It was during this period that Ms. Thao hesitated because she was afraid of making mistakes. However, with patience and love, she chose to stay, becoming a support for him to overcome. Thanks to that, Mr. Phong changed, rebuilt his career and his family became more stable.
Dr. Nguyen Huu Long assessed that it was Ms. Thao's perseverance and support that gave Mr. Phong more strength. He advised both of them to consider past challenges as memories to cherish, instead of letting them become barriers.
In the program, Mr. Phong was moved to send words to his children, expressing his desire to love and care for them like their own children to gradually receive trust. As for herself, Thao said she is happy with her current partner - who always reminds her to care more about her children.
In conclusion, MC Dinh Toan hopes that Ms. Thao's children will understand and accompany her mother's new happiness. Because a mother's happiness, after all, is also the greatest joy of her children.
