All my life I have been served a plate full of rejection. It was so bad that even my own father and his family rejected me.
I always wondered what was wrong with me? What crime I had committed for my life to be soo miserable.Day by Day Question after Questions roasted in my mind like cashew nuts.
To make matters worse,my mother left the country in order to look for greener pastures leaving me in the cruel hands of my cousin sister and her mother.Yes I called her her mother not my Aunt for a reason
Aunties are like second mothers.They are supposed to give you love ,care and nurturing in the absence of your biological mother.My aunt treated me like a cruel step mother.Instead of giving me protection she gave me heartbreak.
My cousin sister would beat me black and blue every day.Did I mention that I was only 7 years old?She beat me so hard every day for 3 years whilst my mother’s sister looked and did nothing about it.
In a way I felt like she condoned this cruel act.When things went missing in the house i would get beaten up whilst the house help was guilty of having butter fingers.They never were willing to hear my side of the story .
At school other learners would mistreat me ,look down upon me because i wore a torn tunic.I felt like i didn’t belong.This affected my grades and resulted in the teacher scolding me every chance she got.
That time my Father was filthy rich whilst i went to school with torn shoes and tunic.I dreaded civics day every monthend because I would repeat the same outfit. This resulted in my mates looking down on me.
I don’t bere grudges because it almost devoured my life.I call this a Testimony because despite all I’ve been tthrough God still came through for me.Luckily I did not drop out of school.
My Father later died as poor as a church mouse.My cousin sister has cancer and her mother is living a miserable life ,They don’t speak anymore. I actually feel sympathy for than rather than anger
As for me Iam a successful business woman, the CEO of my own company with a B com .I dress in designer clothes imported from London and France.I own 3 cars.I am leaving my life for Grace finally located me.
You might be going through what I went through or even worse, just know that better days are coming. Never give up.
