My mother was married into this family at the age of 19 to my 35 year old father. She was as innocent as one can be. She had lost her parents at the age of 16 and was taken care of by her brothers.

She was extremely innocent and naive, she still is. The simplicity still reflects on her face, a beautiful young woman who is loved by everyone, so selfless and always up to help everybody. I love her to bits, I was brainwashed when I was young to hate her.

I was told that She doesn't like us and hence he leaves for her home without us, but the truth was that my aunts would trick me to come with them nearly an hour before my mom had to leave. My mom took everything that was said to her and about her, and never said a word, only for us, for me and my siblings. She never stood up for herself to protect my father for she knew that if she stood up for herself we would be taken away from her.

She has sacrificed a lot for us, so much that i can never really repay. Since the day she expressed how she was treated and since the day we realized how we treated her I have never felt the same. I felt so terrible, for being so mean rude and cold to my own mother. Who did nothing but loved us.

My sister and I have asked her so many times if she wants to divorce and leave, but she wont, she says "whats the point of leaving your dad now in his old age when he needs me? How can I leave you and go?" She resents my aunt so much, she hates her, she says she will never forgive her, but I know she has in her heart.
