14. 0:30Back to the story.
15. 0:32My name is Maggie, and for 35 years I
16. 0:34worked tirelessly as a real estate
17. 0:36investor, building a fortune after my
18. 0:38husband died. My only son was my
19. 0:41greatest pride. I paid for his
20. 0:43university education, bought him his
21. 0:45first house, financed his business, and
22. 0:47even agreed to fund his extravagant
23. 0:49wedding.
24. 0:50Then 3 days before the wedding, a family
25. 0:52friend called me saying, "Maggie, why
26. 0:55aren't you invited at the wedding? I saw
27. 0:57your name on the security blacklist." I
28. 0:59laughed nervously, thinking it was a
29. 1:00mistake. So when I called my son, he
30. 1:02said coldly, "Mom, my fiance doesn't
31. 1:05want drama at our wedding. You've been
32. 1:07embarrassing us lately. It's better you
33. 1:09stay home."
34. 1:10I was speechless.
35. 1:12"But I paid the wedding deposit." "And
36. 1:15nobody asked you to. Just don't show
37. 1:17up." he said. Then he hung up. I sat
38. 1:20quietly for several minutes before
39. 1:21making one phone call.
40. 1:23I called my bank manager.
41. 1:25"Please suspend every recurring payment,
42. 1:28business allowance, mortgage
43. 1:30contribution, and financial arrangement
44. 1:32to my son effective immediately."
45. 1:35You see, my son's business had a
46. 1:37$280,000
47. 1:38operating credit facility guaranteed by
48. 1:41my investment company.
49. 1:43His luxury house also had mortgage
50. 1:45payments I'd been covering. And within
51. 1:4748 hours, his wedding celebrations were
52. 1:50over. But his problems were only just
53. 1:52starting. You see, the wedding venue
54. 1:54contacted him about an outstanding
55. 1:55balance. His business lender I
56. 1:58additional security.
57. 2:00His mortgage company sent him a payment
58. 2:02notice. He called me 37 times. On the
59. 2:0638th call I answered. Mom, you've
60. 2:08destroyed everything. Why would you do
61. 2:10this?
62. 2:11I calmly replied, "Son, I didn't put you
63. 2:13on a blacklist. You did that yourself. I
64. 2:16simply stopped paying for a family that
65. 2:17considers me an embarrassment."
66. 2:20He begged me to reconsider.
67. 2:22I told him one final thing.
68. 2:24You wanted a wedding without your
69. 2:25mother. Now build your life without her
70. 2:28money. And 3 months later my son finally
71. 2:31visited me.
72. 2:32This time he came alone without his
73. 2:34expensive watch or designer suit.
74. 2:36He apologized. I forgave him, but I
75. 2:39didn't reinstate the financial support
76. 2:42because forgiveness is a gift, not a
77. 2:44subscription to being mistreated.
