If I understood this early, I wouldn't have suffered at the end of my life.

At the end of his life, this man realized that loving his children too much is not always a good thing.

The story shared on China's social media site Toutiao received deep sympathy from everyone.

***

Mr. Tran (72 years old) was a successful businessman and has been retired for many years. In the past, he was the CEO of a large media company for many years.

His successful career, hard work and constant efforts have helped him accumulate a considerable amount of wealth. During his youth years devoted to work, due to his busy schedule, Mr. Tran felt guilty towards his small family.

Therefore, he always tries to make time to make up for it with his family. Mr. Tran considers his children the most precious gift and family is always the top priority in life.

He gives his son meticulous attention down to the smallest details, always wanting him to have the best life. And he also believes that his son is the most solid spiritual support in his old age.

After many years of saving, Mr. Tran has savings of up to 600,000 NDT (more than 2.1 billion VND). With the thought of loving his children and wanting to share the burden of life so that his children can live better, he planned to divide his assets early.

Furthermore, he also thought that he was at retirement age and did not need to keep much money, so he quickly carried out his plan.

Mr. Tran has two children, a girl and a boy. When he decided to divide the property, he thought that his son would have to shoulder more of the family burden and later take care of him and the whole family, so he divided 400,000 NDT (more than 1.4 billion VND) for his son and 200,000 NDT (about 700 million VND) for his daughter.

However, this difference caused conflict in the family, pushing him to a painful and lonely tragedy in his old age. His daughter was not satisfied with her father's division and strongly opposed it, thinking that her father was unfair and favored men over women.

Although Mr. Tran tried many times to explain the reason for the division of assets, his daughter still felt unjust and resentful. She thought that her father had treated her unfairly, which gave rise to feelings of dissatisfaction and anger.

These hidden conflicts, not resolved thoroughly, gradually created distance in family relationships. Meals that were once filled with laughter now became heavy and cold.

The decision to divide the property early in the hope of bringing happiness to his children accidentally pushed Mr. Tran into the loneliness and sadness of old age. He lived alone in his old house, sometimes when he had free time, he would go out for a walk, chat with his friends and neighbors or play chess to make the day pass faster.

However, Mr. Tran still felt heartbroken by the changes in his children and grandchildren. His daughter rarely visited, and his son too, his attention gradually became less and less.

Before, the children would bring their grandchildren to visit their grandfather once a week and the daughter would call her father every day to ask about him and buy things and necessities for him.

Now, Mr. Tran's son rarely comes to visit because he is busy with work, and his daughter rarely asks about him. The occasional calls from his daughter are just a few hasty greetings, then end with excuses about being busy this or that.

Mr. Tran once thought that dividing the assets early would help his children stabilize their lives and bring the family closer together, but now he faces indifference from the people he loves the most. The house that was once filled with laughter is now filled with emptiness, sadness and loneliness that covered the last years of his life.

Mr. Tran felt sad, bitter and helpless. He knew he had been abandoned by his children, the people he loved and cherished most in the world.

Lying on the hospital bed, Mr. Tran endured physical and mental pain. He regretted his wrong decision to divide the property early, causing the family's joy to be broken, and he felt lonely and miserable in the last years of his life.

Through Mr. Tran's story, we can draw profound lessons to reduce suffering in old age and live happily with family and children.

1. Retain assets to ensure security in old age

Parents must understand that assets are not just material wealth, but also a means to maintain an independent and secure life in old age.

Instead of dividing all your assets to your children too early, keep a portion for yourself as a reserve, to support yourself against unforeseen risks.

This shows careful preparation for the future, so that you do not have to depend on others and live happily and joyfully every day.

2. Educate children to be independent and appreciate family values

Instead of loving their children too much and constantly supporting them financially, parents should teach their children how to live independently, appreciate hard work, and understand the value of family affection.

When children grow up fully equipped with a sense of responsibility and gratitude, family relationships will be strong and close, not affected by material values.

This also helps the family to be happy, children become a strong spiritual support for parents in old age.
