‘Why Did You Give Birth to Me?’ Boy Is Ashamed of Old Mom Until He Learns He’s Not Her Son

One Saturday, thirteen-year-old Tim lounged with his buddies at a neighborhood café, a typical weekend ritual. They’d while away the hours chatting and goofing off, relishing the freedom before the structured weekdays resumed.

One Saturday, Gloria, Tim’s mom, wanted to break their routine by inviting him to watch a new superhero movie together. Although it wasn’t her cup of tea, she knew Tim loved superhero flicks and hoped it would be a chance for them to bond.

Gloria tried calling Tim’s cellphone several times, but he didn’t pick up. So, she decided to head to the café where Tim and his friends usually hung out on Saturdays.

Upon reaching the café, Gloria spotted Tim with his friends, who seemed to be teasing him. “Looks like your grandma’s here to pick you up, Tim!” they joked.

Tim shot his mother a glare and hurried over to intercept her. “What are you doing here?” he scolded her. “You’re embarrassing me in front of my friends!”

“Why am I embarrassing you, honey?” Gloria asked softly. “I wanted to see if you’d like to watch a movie with me. I want to spend more time with you, while I still can,” she smiled, reaching out to hold his hand.

But Tim shrugged off her hand and insisted on staying with his friends. “Leave me alone, I’m with my friends,” he told her sharply. “Please go before more people notice you!”

With a heavy heart, Gloria returned home, puzzled by Tim’s sudden distance. She spent the afternoon preparing Tim’s favorite spaghetti and meatballs, hoping he’d come home for dinner.

When Tim finally arrived home late that night, he barely acknowledged Gloria’s presence. She offered him dinner, but he brushed her off and retreated to his room.

Confused and hurt, Gloria knocked on Tim’s door. “I waited for you,” she said softly. “I made your favorite dinner. Would you like some?”

Tim shot her a cold look. “Obviously not. I would’ve gone to the kitchen if I wanted food,” he replied curtly. “Just leave me alone, I’m tired.”

Concerned, Gloria pressed further. “What’s wrong, Tim? Why don’t you want to spend time with me anymore? We used to be so close.”

“Please, just leave me alone! You won’t like what happens next!” Tim warned, his frustration evident.

Undeterred, Gloria continued to reach out to him. “What’s going on, Tim? I’m worried about you. I feel like I don’t know what’s going on in your life anymore.”

“You’re just an old, boring woman! Everyone thinks you’re my grandma. Why did you even have me?” Tim lashed out, his words stabbing Gloria’s heart.

Before Gloria could respond, Tim grabbed his backpack and stormed out of the house. As he left, Gloria collapsed in front of their neighbor’s house, overwhelmed by emotion.

Later that night, Tim returned home to find their neighbor waiting for him. “Your mom wanted to keep this from you, but I think you need to know,” she said sternly, handing him a folder of documents.

As Tim read through the papers, he discovered the truth: he was adopted, and Gloria had sacrificed everything for him, including her health and financial stability.

Overwhelmed with guilt and remorse, Tim rushed to the hospital where Gloria was recovering. Tearfully, he begged for her forgiveness and promised to cherish every moment they had together.

In the months that followed, Tim made a conscious effort to be there for his mom, supporting her in every way he could. Together, they embraced a healthier lifestyle and grew closer than ever before.
