My mother is a housewife. Almost half of her life was spend within the house (We rarely go out for outing or trips). She told me stories about her life as a newly wedded wife. It was a nightmare. She always mentions how she wanted to become a nurse, make a living and pull out her siblings and her family out of poverty. Due to poverty, she was married before she could complete her schooling. Life here too was a nightmare. I have seen my mother and father fight verbally and physically sometimes. I don’t know why but it breaks my heart every single time. Life was really cruel to her. Because she didn’t choose this life for herself, she was unhappy and later diagnosed with a mental disorder. I cry every single night even though I know it’s not my fault life was cruel to her. But she never got any respect and love from either of her families. I too had a rocky relationship with her but nobody deserves this kind of life. I’m crying thinking about what she has faced and still faces. I cannot change anything yet I do not want her to feel sad. I cannot see her miserable like this. It’s like a loophole of helplessness and misery. I cannot exactly pinpoint why I feel sad but I do feel miserable. If only she could go back in time and could change her life I would have done every single thing to do that.
It’s like hearing her cry and say of only she could made something of herself she would never be in this kind of situation, after every insult thrown at her.
