Woman Relocated to Trailer with Son to Protect Him from Rich Dad – Story of the Day

“Let’s go, son,” a mother whispered to her son as they left her wealthy husband’s house in the middle of the night. What happened during the past few years forced her to abandon her luxurious lifestyle and move into a trailer.

Frank, a wealthy businessman, lived in the city’s most expensive area with his wife, Scarlet, and their teenage son, Timothy. Most people knew the family as the richest people who lived happily together, but the truth was otherwise.

Frank had not always been a wealthy man. He had struggled for years before setting up his business and hiring people who worked for him. As a result, he wanted Timothy to work hard and be successful, but Scarlet disagreed.

When Timothy was little, he told his father he loved playing sports. So, instead of sending him to regular school, Frank enrolled Timothy in one of the best athletic schools in town, expecting his son to work hard and become the best athlete.

Timothy spent ten hours each day practicing at school during weekdays, and on weekends, Frank would teach him regular school subjects for twelve hours. “Hard work makes you successful, son,” Frank would say whenever Timothy complained he felt tired or didn’t want to become an athlete.

Watching her son complain made Scarlet feel bad. She didn’t like the routine Frank had set for Timothy, and she would often tell her husband to give their son a break. This time, she did the same.

“My poor child is so tired, Frank,” Scarlet said. “Why don’t you give him a day off each week so he can rest and do what he likes?”

“You know nothing about hard work, Scarlet,” Frank replied. “I don’t want my son to be a weak man. I’m training him to become strong like me, and feeling tired is just part of the process.”

Scarlet shook her head in disapproval and walked to her side of the bed before closing her eyes and sleeping. She felt sad that she could do nothing to save her son from the tiring routine.

The next day, Timothy went to his athletic school, as usual, to prepare for the competition. He had only a day left to practice, and losing the championship was not an option since Frank wanted him to win at any cost.

While practicing, Timothy suddenly slipped and landed face down, which injured his knees and elbows. Dad won’t be happy after knowing I fell. What will I tell him? he wondered while his instructor informed Scarlet about the accident.

“Oh my God!” Scarlet said as she came rushing to Timothy, who was sitting in the instructor’s office. “How did this happen? Are you okay, sweetheart?”

“It hurts, Mom,” Timothy cried. “What will I say to Dad? He’s going to scold me.”

“Don’t worry, honey. I’ll handle him,” Scarlet assured her son before they left for home.
