Facing the betrayal in marriage, do you tear up the wicked, or go out of the house? Or is it that the world is known to have caused a lot of trouble, and has lived a whole life from now on? This may not be the best option. Regarding this matter, Eleanor, the wife of former US President Roosevelt, has a say, because after facing the betrayal, she lived out her true self and became the world-famous first lady.
The extraordinary life of an ordinary girl, because she met the future president of the United States
Eleanor, whose full name is Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, was born in New York in 1884. Because she is too ordinary, she calls herself " The Ugly Duckling". Of course, being ordinary is not the only ordinary thing about Eleanor. She has not been loved by her mother since she was a child. It is said that in order to change her introvert and shy personality, her mother always loves to make fun of her in front of outsiders.
Obviously this left a very bad impression on Eleanor. For a long time, did not have confidence in herself. However, Eleanor received a lot of love from his father, but his father loved to drink. If he was drunk, he would no longer love her father, but a drunk.
Once his father took Eleanor out on a horseback ride, he drank with a friend and left her there directly after he was drunk. Later, he was found by security and sent home.
Even so, Eleanor did not get the life of her parents. Z6z's mother died when she was 8 years old, and her father died when she was 10. In the end, Eleanor had to live with her grandma with her two younger brothers. Fortunately, grandma is very rich. She cultivated Eleanor's talents: riding, singing, music, dancing, and literature.
At the same time, Eleanor was sent to London by her grandmother to study when she was 15 years old. This is where she broadened her horizons and learned how to dress and dress up girls. She also went to Europe when she had time. country.
returned to New York at the age of 18. Grandma held a dance party specially for her. The purpose of is to let her know the right opposite sex so as to develop marriage.
But at the time, Eleanor looked mediocre, with a height of one meter and eight . Such a girl could not be touched by sweetness. However, it was at this ball that she attracted the attention of Franklin Roosevelt and asked her to perform a dance.
In fact, Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt are relatives, but they are relatively far away. According to seniority, Eleanor should be called Uncle Franklin.
did not expect that Eleanor's rich inner world and unique insights attracted Franklin, and then they fell in love, and even got married.
However, this marriage drew opposition from Franklin's mother. Fortunately, Franklin insisted, and finally, the two people of got married in 1904. The host was former US President Theodore Roosevelt.
No one knows that this is the beginning of Eleanor's change. Franklin Roosevelt had not yet become the president at this time, but he had the president's surname, which was very noble to the people at the time. To this end, more than 200 invitees attended their wedding on their wedding day and received as many as 340 gifts.
was originally a pro-to-law marriage, but was cheated by the president. She did this. At that time, because she was not liked by her mother-in-law, Eleanor very much hoped to get rid of the reality of being with her mother-in-law. When she was married before, Uncle Theodore Roosevelt also suggested to her: had better keep her surname. So, Eleanor quickly realized: woman's duty is to have the same interests as her husband.
So, while Franklin was struggling to reach the pinnacle of politics, Eleanor also became very interested in politics, and moved out of the house with Franklin who became a senator. At this moment, Eleanor suddenly understood one thing: I want to be independent? I have begun to understand that a yearning for self-development has arisen in my heart.
From this time on, Eleanor began to have full contact with political institutions, politicians, commentators, etc. By the time Franklin Roosevelt became undersecretary of the Navy, Eleanor had become a political reception center at home. Not only did she sew clothes for soldiers who were on the front line during the First World War, she also cooks as a guestPeople cook.
Eleanor at this time is just like what people see: has a happy family and a harmonious husband and wife. What about the facts about ? She knew very well in her heart: There was a problem between herself and her husband. It turned out that after her husband returned from a trip to Europe, she found a woman named Lucy Page Mercer in her husband’s letter. This person maintained a very close relationship with her husband, and she was beautiful and belonged to her husband. Secretary, they have been together for more than four years.
Because of this, Eleanor broke down. She later said: "At this moment, my whole world turned upside down. For the first time in my life, I really faced myself and everything around me. Facing my world. "Z7z
Eleanor's self-esteem made her unable to bear the betrayal, so she first found her husband and asked for a divorce. It is conceivable that Franklin was at a critical moment in politics. He compromised with Eleanor and promised to sever relations with Lucy. For children and politics, Eleanor chose to forgive.
But no one thought that after another two years, Eleanor found out that Franklin had contacted Lucy again two years later, and they had been in a relationship for more than two decades. Eleanor did not announce a word about these things, she just said to her friend: "I can forgive, but I will not forget."
Eleanor is so calm because she has seen it through. If you choose to forgive, you know that and her husband are no longer husbands and wives, but partners, and is mutual support in career. She no longer caters to Franklin, but devotes all her energy to her career.
is precisely because of this, Eleanor step by step, opened her own spring on the way of politics. Not only did she have her own business, but she almost laid the foundation for the first lady's behavior: buy one get one free .
and the record she broke is that the first lady of was 12 years , now I am afraid no one can break this record. As for her as the first US ambassador to the United Nations, led the drafting of the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" feat, is that no one can match?
Eleanor’s tombstone has a sentence: defeats us, it is fear itself.
In this regard, Eleanor has always known that when a rift in her marriage and her husband betrayed her, she could have been smashed with her husband, or she could tear up Lucy, and even seek the sympathy of the American people. But she didn't. Z6z relied on her sense of independence, let go of the restraints of family and marriage, and embarked on a political career all the way. So far, no White House heroine can break her record.
