Daria Dontsova (real name - Agrippina Arkadyevna, nee Vasilyeva, born in 1952) is a famous Russian writer and TV presenter. The path to a happy family life for Daria was long and difficult. Her first two marriages were unsuccessful, but for the third time fate brought her to the right person.
Daria's family life
Dasha's first marriage turned out to be fleeting. The girl dreamed of becoming independent and getting rid of the guardianship of her parents, so she went down the aisle without hesitation. But a few months after registration, the couple decided to break up. In this marriage, the son of Arkady was born.
Daria's second husband was a witness at her first wedding. Even then, she liked the man. However, this alliance turned out to be fragile.
Having gone through two divorces, Dasha decided to live for herself. However, a neighbor intervened in her life, introducing the woman to a scientist named Alexander Dontsov. Sasha was also divorced at that time. Love at first sight did not work. Moreover, Daria initially did not like Alexander at all. However, he was persistent and was able to achieve Daria's location thanks to the fact that he surrounded her with care and understanding, a constant willingness to help and listen.
Alexander Dontsov left his ex-wife an apartment and moved to Daria. The couple had sons from their first marriages, so the four of them healed as one family.
Alexander at that time was already a well-known scientist and respected person. He had the same reputation within the family. Until now, Daria calls her husband by name and patronymic, thus expressing respect and humility. She herself explains this by the fact that she considers her spouse to be much smarter and stronger than herself.
A few years after the marriage, Alexander and Darya Dontsov had a daughter, Masha. The child was late enough, but still welcome. Then it seemed that life was getting better, a happy time was coming, but fate was preparing an unpleasant surprise for the Dontsovs.
Daria's severe illness
In 1998, Darya Dontsova was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, which meant a high risk of death. The woman underwent several difficult operations. For her, this was a blow not only because of fear for her own life, but also for her family. However, Alexander Ivanovich perceived her illness calmly, as if it did not exist. He did not let Daria fall into depression and supported her in every possible way, not allowing thoughts of an imminent departure to gain a foothold in his head. Alexander got vouchers for his wife in sanatoriums and boarding houses, worked in several shifts, while finding strength to support his wife and planning the future of the family.
Somehow Daria Dontsova had to spend several months in the hospital. Alexander, knowing how hard it is for his wife to be alone with her heavy thoughts without work, threw her the idea of realizing her literary abilities. It was her husband who pushed Dontsova to write the first book. Daria Arkadyevna, inspired by her husband's parting words, wrote her first detective novel in just five days, lying in the intensive care unit. Writing and the support of her lover helped Daria cope with unpleasant thoughts and overcome the disease.
Together, Alexander and Dasha Dontsovs managed to leave a serious illness behind. However, the passion for writing did not go away. After some time, Dontsova became an author respected by Russian readers. Nevertheless, Daria still considers her successes to be smaller than her husband's achievements in the scientific community.
