In the episode of “You’ve Got Mail” on 14 January there is also the story of a mother, Adele, that after leaving her husband she has no longer had the opportunity to see her children, especially her son who tells her to go back to his father, otherwise he will not speak to her again. Since then, relations have broken down. She, Adele, left her father because he was a chauvinist: “I wanted to take a beautician course, it didn’t go well for him. When I ask him why he replies ‘You pulled your head out of the bag, now walk’. My children stay with me and my ex leaves home. After a while, he comes back in front of his children and tells me in a contemptuous tone that he is ready to come back with me. I refuse and he goes away. After some time, my son tells me he wants to go for a weekend with his father and then I find out that he took away all his things. When I talk to my son, he tells me that he will only talk to me if I return with his father. If I see him again it is only thanks to my ex mother-in-law”.
Adele’s words
Adele is in tears when she sees her son Giovanni: “You’ve been my life since the first day you were born. You’ve been a strong emotion. It’s all gone. Help me be your mom again. I love you madly. Give me an explanation.” Unfortunately, however, Giovanni is impassive.
How can you think that I don’t love you, John? Mom loves you, how can I not love you? Since you’ve been gone for three years, a part of my heart has died with you. Let me be your mom because I’m your mom. I hear from customers who have it on Facebook about you. Sometimes my daughter Roberta, the sister, shows me TikTok. Sometimes I asked some friends about her. I beg you. John comes back with mom. What did I do wrong to have all this?
John’s words
John gives his version of events: “My father and my mother broke up for the economic sphere. Let’s say that my mother lacked material things, that’s why they broke up. I no longer speak to my grandmother because of my mother because she only told bad news in tour”. Giovanni seems increasingly adamant, he also declares that he threw away the flowers that his mother gave him: “A son is not won back with flowers, but with facts. I don’t feel anything for my mother”. Giovanni reveals that he is cold precisely because of his mother’s behavior. Maria De Filippi tries to make the boy think but he: “If he loved me he didn’t tell my paternal grandmother, tell Giovanni that he died for me”. Giovanni closes the envelope with his mother who continues to cry. Maria De Filippi tells him: “You are not your father, you are your mother’s son. And the love you feel for mom is different from what she can feel for dad”.
