Mother Who Sacrificed Everything to Make Her Kids Successful Abandoned and Left Broke in a Nursing Home

There is a saying: “A mother can raise ten children, but ten children can’t take care of one mother.” This saying is painfully true in the heartbreaking story shared recently on TikTok.

On July 27, 2022, a woman named Faiz Hakim, 66, from the state of Kelantan, Malaysia, shared her emotional experience with the world. Faiz Hakim has two grown children, both successful professionals—one a doctor and the other an engineer. Despite their career success, Faiz Hakim’s life has been filled with heartbreak, and her story is a powerful reminder of the importance of filial love and respect.

Faiz Hakim’s journey as a mother was not easy. She struggled to raise her two sons in a modest family, but her hard work paid off when they both succeeded academically and professionally. Her eldest son became a doctor, and her youngest son became an engineer for a prominent oil company. As a mother, she was proud and hopeful that her children’s success would bring happiness and security in their later years.

However, the reality of her life took a tragic turn after her husband passed away. Instead of providing her with the comfort and care she deserved, her two sons chose to prioritize their careers over their mother’s well-being. They insisted she transfer all her assets to them, ensuring they would inherit her property while she was left with nothing.

But the most heartbreaking part of this story is that her sons sent her to a nursing home, citing their busy careers as the reason they couldn’t care for her. Faiz Hakim made multiple attempts to visit them, only to be turned away each time. She was left alone and abandoned by the very children she had sacrificed so much for.

In an emotional video, Faiz Hakim tearfully shared her pain, unable to understand how her children could treat her in such a cruel way. The video quickly gained over 1.4 million views and continues to resonate with people around the world.

The response from viewers was one of shock and outrage. Many expressed sympathy for Faiz Hakim and condemned her children’s actions:

“Who do they think helped them become who they are today? It was their mother. How can they treat her like this?”

“Being ungrateful to one’s parents is a grave sin. They will regret their actions one day.”

“It’s heartbreaking. Becoming a doctor or an engineer doesn’t matter if you abandon the very person who gave you life and nurtured you.”

This story has touched many hearts, sparking a broader conversation about the importance of honoring our parents. In the West, the value of caring for elderly parents is deeply ingrained in many cultures. While it’s common for individuals to build their careers and seek independence, the responsibility to care for aging parents is often seen as a moral obligation. In this case, Faiz Hakim’s story is a painful reminder that success should not come at the expense of family, and that no matter how far we go in our professional lives, we should never forget the sacrifices our parents made for us.

In the end, it is a call to action for all of us to appreciate and care for the ones who raised us, not just when it’s convenient, but always.
