Maybe it sounds strange to post such a topic on Steemit but you can see the reason here.

Too personal

It is inappropriate to comment things like family issues in a social media but the purpose of my blog 'The Practical Motivation' justify it.

This is the first of the ten most important events in my life that shaped me as an individual.

My childhood in short

As a child, I wasn't unique and usually underestimate myself. I have no special talents. I thought everybody is more cool, smart and better than me.

I have tried many different things like playing football, basketball, chess, dancing, singing, but I have never become the best in what I was doing.

I had excellent grades at school and this was my 'talent'. I had no dreams except being an excellent student.

This is what I was in the society.

Often there were some argues between my parents. I respected more my mother because it seemed to me that she is the person who takes decisions and takes more care of me and my sister.

I have never had problems with my father but also I have never felt enough care from him. 

When I was 14 he left us because of argues with my mum.

That is the story in short. The more important thing is how an average boy like me reacted to the situation.

'The man in the house'

That is what I was supposed to be after the leaving of my father. But I didn't manage to do it. 'The man in the house' was my mother. She is a very strong woman and I love her so much. I realize she is at the base of every achievement in my life.

I have tried to become 'the man in the house' and particularly manage to become such a person. But there was something strange after the leaving of my father. His absence wasn't significant. Sometimes he creates conflicts even he isn't with us anymore and this is the way I remembered him- troublemaker.

There was a lawsuit about the size of the support he owes me and my sister. It was insane according to me. 

The lesson I learned

My father is a model for me. A model of the person I will never be.

His leaving made me stronger and creates my ideal for a family. 

Despite all the problems in my family I am grateful to be a part of it.

I am not looking for sympathy. I am just sharing with you how this event shaped my current mindset. In my further posts, it is possible to comment some impacts of my key life events.
