‘Ask Anything’ features a story of a woman who wants to reconcile with her eldest daughter, with whom she has lost contact for 7 years.
The storyteller, who endured difficult times while undergoing chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant after being diagnosed with blood cancer 5 years ago, comes to ‘Ask Anything’, saying that she has not been able to contact her eldest daughter for the past 7 years and cannot even reconcile with her.
The husband, who developed hypochondria after a long-term overseas business trip, even resorted to violence when drunk, and he even abused his eldest daughter, who was an adult, with language and violence. In the end, she got a divorce because her eldest daughter‘s advice, “I’ll agree to be admitted to a mental hospital, so get treatment for alcoholism” hurt her pride.
Then one day, when her daughter decided to get married with a Cambodian man a year before graduation, the storyteller held a small wedding ceremony for her, but it didn‘t last long.
After the divorce, the eldest daughter hid the fact that she was receiving child support from her ex-husband and lived with her live-in boyfriend.
The storyteller received a message from her eldest daughter’s live-in boyfriend, who was unaware of this fact, calling her “mother-in-law”. The storyteller mentions that she is receiving child support from the child‘s biological father and says that contact has been cut off.
While listening to the storyteller, Lee Soo-geun asks, “Does your daughter know that your mother has cancer?” and gets angry when she says that she knows but hasn’t contacted him. Seo Jang-hoon also said, “Isn‘t my daughter’s personality problematic?” and “There may be other circumstances that we don‘t know about, but regardless of the reason, it is a son’s duty to look into it while his mother is battling cancer,” and expressed his anger at his eldest daughter.
“I couldn‘t scold my daughter, but I feel relieved that the caregivers scolded her instead,” the unfortunate story of the person who left the afterword and what Seo Jang-hoon’s stinging advice made her feel relieved can be found on the 305th episode of ‘Ask Anything’, which will be broadcast on KBS Joy Channel at 8:30 p.m. tonight (24th).
