In a society where family don't care stand up to be who you want to become

I come from a family where my father is the i don't care type and my mother is a fighter.

This is my story

When I was 4 years old my mother and father always quarrel and by then we were living in the provinces. My father is the womanizing type and he is not taking responsibility even tho he was married to my mother. From what my mother told me she said that she was giving away to my father by her own mother who is my grandma and at that time she don't have a choice. My mother was tired of how my father always treats her. No love, no caring and affection. My father even denies that we are not his children by then my mother have already given birth to three girls.

She came to freetown to stay with her dad and my grandfather was happy to see us and he didn't it waste any time he enroll us that year but after some years my mother and grandfather was always fighting. How my grandfather use to belittle my mother and embarrassed her openly was something not to talk of. This keeps going for something and one day my grandfather asked that my mother leave the house after he has flogged her mercilessly at that point she doesn't have anywhere to go that particular night we roam the street of freetown finding shelter for the night.wr ended up sleeping inside a commercial vichle after my mother begged the strenger to permit us for ony that night. In the morning we start roaming around again but no family came to our aid. The struggle continued we ended up at our aunt's place we stayed there for some time but my mother was always insulted by the other family members living in the house she got tired of it and say that she will stand up for herself.

By then I was 14 years old and was in senior high things where very difficult she was the only one despite almost her family members her rich but they never cared about us because we are not rich.my mother struggled for me to sat to my waec I was drove out from school countless of time but my mother always find a way.After my first attempt I didn't have requirements to enter the university I was shattered.

I went to serve a full time mission for the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Days Saint and to be a representative of God. My time ended and I came back home. I cried because everything was just going backward for my mother at that moment I said to myself no matter what with or without the help of any family I must be who I want to become and I must wipe the tears away from my mother because she had suffered alot. There is this statement that she used to say whenever she things got really rough for her I qoute "if I were with no kids my life would have been like that of others money will not be my problem"

I start searching for jobs to just help support my mother and my dream I finally go a teaching job as a teacher in a primary school and I resat my waec and got requirements and am fighting very her for me to enroll next year into the university with the little am earning
