My story: ”I stayed outside,I didn’t know what to do. My life was over”.
I got married at the age of 16.
Why?
Because I had no one close to me. I grew up in an orphanage, I did not know if I had any relatives.
I got married, we had 3 children, one after another. My husband was addicted to drugs, and he kept beating me.
Then suddenly my mother appeared. She told me to go to Russia with her and to take my children later.
I talked to my mother-in-law. She advised me to do the same.
I went. My mother lived an immoral life. I stayed there for about a month. I couldn’t stand it anymore.
I came back but my husband wouldn’t accept me as he thought I was leading the same lifestyle my mother was.
My mother-in-law told me to stay away from my children.
I stayed outside; I did not know what to do. My life was over.
I tried to end up my life and found myself in the hospital.
And right there I met a girl; I invited me to stay with her at her place. She advised to get a divorce.
I left my children because my mother-in-law looked after them very well. And I had nothing. I suffered; I would go back secretly to watch them from distance! But I had no right to approach them. Especially now that they had a new mother. They were young, and they didn’t even remember me.
Years passed. I met a boy. We got married and had a child.
My daughter has spina bifida. For a moment I thought of leaving her. But then I knew I could not, because I realized that I had already lost my 3 children.
I do not know whether Camila will ever walk. But I will do everything to help her stand.
Now, at the age of 24, I have only my beauty. My husband left us because of the child’s health problems.
My mother-in-law wrote to me recently. She said she regretted what she had done. She started to send me pictures.
I do not know what will happen tomorrow. But I am grateful to “Bari Mama” team for helping me make the right decision and stay with Camila.
Please do not criticize. I have gathered the courage to write this. And I hope that one day I will gather all my children in one place.
