Charpter 1
My mom loved politics so much and that’s how she met my father, by that time she was 25years. My dad would invite her after meetings and one thing led to another.She never knew that he was married because he lived with my granmom while the wife was in another province teaching.He would visit my mom time to time and my mom’s father loved him so much because he would bring him cigarettes and alcohol.

They ended up dating officially and both their parents were okay with it.They would go to picnics,watch movies and shop together. Months passed by and my mom became pregnant with me and that’s when problems became to appear. My dad had disappeared into thin air when my mom went to his home and check on him she got worse news ever. My granmom told her that my father went to his wife in Mpumalanga so that they can fix their marriage. My mom couldn’t belive what she just heard and she went home.

They both went to my father’s home early in the morning to hear what is really happing. My grandad then decided that my mom should become second wife to my father. But she did not agree. Months went by then my father returned from Mpumalanga. By then my mom was 4months pregnant and my father knew everything before he left. My mom was so angry and my dad told her that he is sorry for leaving unannounced,he is going to take care of us and my mom should marry him.Still she refused and stopped talking to him even when he would visit her.

She gave birth to me prematurely due to stress and my dad and granmom were at the hospital along with my grandad. We were in hospital for 2months that’s when my father told his wife that he has a daughter with my mom. His wife became furious and wanted nothing to do with us and told my father not to support my mom and I .But he continued to support us and later paid through maintance court.By then he was working in the mines and continued to support us.When I went to start my grade 1 I stayed with my granmom(his mom)and the wife would come ,she would shout at me for nothing, not give me food to eat and later told me to pack my backs and leave.But my granmom was always there for me and stood by my side all the time.

Years went by and when I was going grade 5. My father stopped working and now my mom and granmom had to pay for everything needed at school. It wasn’t easy for them but they tried their best.Later in the year my step mom said I should ask her if ever I needed something and that shocked all of us because at first she wanted nothing with me and my mom. She would invite us to her house and she was like a totally different person.

I then became pregnant doing my matric and she told my father to tell me that i should abort the child or else she would cut me off.Well I told my mom everything and she said I shouldn’t stress my self,i should focus on passing my matric everything will be sorted. I then passed my matric and by the time I was going to give birth,my father was also in hospital and was diagnosed with kidney failure.I was in hospital for 3months because I gave birth prematurely and my daughter had pale skin. Months went by and I would call my dad to check up on him and he got better.

Then my granmom became ill also, she would cough out blood and i was the one taking care of her. After a week she had to stay with my step mom and dad but in 3 days she passed away while sleeping.She was buried in the Eastern cape and i couldn’t attend the burial cause my daughter was still small. Then after a few weeks my father stopped taking medicine for his kidneys and he said he was tired of the way he was living. I then took my daughter to him for the first time while we were there he seemed happy and at peace. Then my step mom acussed me of stealing her teaspoon set but when I told her to search my bags she refused.Early in the morning I packed our bags and told my father that I am no longer coming to see him ever again because his wife hates me and I am not the one who told him to date my mom.

I remember I was in college when I got a call from my step brother that dad has passed away. I cried so much that i couldn’t even finish my lecture session. When I got home i told my mom and she was so emotional. Then on Friday I went straight to Rustenburg in order to bury my father. When I got there i found my step mom on mattress and I greeted her and she was busy writing the obituary.She didn’t even include me in it. Then later at night all of my father’s family from Eastern cape came and they were happy to see me, told me that am truly my father’s daughter because I have his looks.

Day of the burial the obituary was read without me being included. Then hell broke loose when all my father’s family shouted and told everyone in church that my father had only 3 sons and 1 daughter which is me. I ran outside cause I couldn’t hold myself anymore still had many questions to ask him. I came home the same day and told my mom everything. Years went by without going to my step mom even when I was in town she would just hear from my stepbrother’s daughter that i had visited them.

Then last year my mom passed away and now I am left with my daughter and little sister. My brother is the one who helps us with everything from buying grocery to clothes etc.Then last year he tells me that he wants to do unveiling for grandma in the Eastern cape. I said I am going with him. In my mind i thought I would me, him, his wife and children, but my step mom was there too. She is now fat and old and can’t even walk alone she needs someone to balance her. The person she hates the most which is me – I was the one helping her to the toilet,climbing on the van,giving her food, bathing water everything you can imagine.

When we came back from Eastern cape then she said I should come and sleep with her in the house. I didn’t disagree and my brother went to his house. We entered the house and I asked her where should I put my bags and I needed to charge my phone. She said in her bedroom because that’s where we will be sleeping together. I asked since when do I sleep with you because there 3bedrooms in here. And she said if I don’t want to sleep with her I should get the hell out of her house. Bear in mind that it’s 3am. I gladly went outside cried my lungs out and I heard her calling my brother that I have ran out of the house after insulting her. My brother came and took me to his house apologizing on her behalf and I just said its fine only God know why she hates me this much…
