I married the first man who told me he loved me. Truthfully, I was young and naive, and things moved quickly.
My aunt and her husband arranged for me to be with him after I became pregnant.
I was only 19, and he was 40. Looking back, I see now that I was far too young to understand what was happening.
My father left a lasting memory, making me repeat these words after him: “This brain is good!” while pointing at my head. He was a teacher, and my mother worked as the assistant postmaster in our small town.
Sadly, they both lost their lives in a tragic car accident when I was just starting high school.
After their passing, I was sent to live with my aunt (my father’s older sister) and her husband. They had two children and held very strict beliefs, following misguided religious teachings. They came to believe I had inherited something dark from my mother’s side, which was completely untrue but caused me immense suffering.
During those years, I endured hurtful treatment and was isolated from my cousins.
