Birth and Family

I was born on July 7, 1969. I was 6th of 7 children. I was the youngest of the girls.

Marriage and Challenges

I got married against my parents' wishes at the age of 23. My husband was very abusive. He used my money to take out other women.

Motherhood and Family Struggles

One year later I had a daughter. His parents blamed me for not giving my husband a son, and outcast me. After they threw me away, I tried to kill myself. I took poison. I wanted to die.

Seeking Help and Moving to Florida

My older sister asked me to come to Florida and stay with her. When I came to Florida, I could not speak or write a word in English. I went to school and still found it difficult to learn English. I am still struggling with the language, but now I am much better.
