LIFE OR FATE?

Chapter12

Growing up as a child Amanda was traumatized by her mother because of the way she treated her

She never felt loved or appreciated by her by what she did

As a child she beats and lay curses on her if she ever do something wrong

I know is a normal thing for a traditional African home

But Amanda’s mom was over doing it

She would use beating to correct Amanda instead of talking to her as her only daughter

There was a certain time she didn’t wash a noodles pot because she didn’t see it

After three days her mother saw it It was spoilt and had maggots in it

She beat her up and asked her to eat it

Amanda ate a spoilt maggot noodles because her mother forced her to do so

She suffered a serious stomach ache that period

She got medications for herself

Her mother threatened to treat her like a maid some many times

This made Amanda scared as a child

She told her she dress Awful and never encourage her to do better

She told her that all her mate were better than her

This made her feel so bad and had less of herself

There was a day her cousin visited with her mom

Amanda mistakenly spilt water on the floor her mother beat her up in front of her cousin and her cousin’s mother

She went as far as telling Amanda’s cousin that she is looking up to her that she should hurry up grow up,achieve a dream and marry so she can visit when she gives birth

She said this in front of everyone

Amanda felt so bad, she cried a lot in the night

While growing up Amanda saw herself as useless person

She didn’t associate with people because she saw herself as less person

When she became an adult it became worst

She started comparing herself with Amanda

She would tell Amanda that if the bring her out and bring her that is her mother out that they would choose her

Even men will choose her over Amanda

She don’t go to a gathering and say any thing about Amanda

She will say the bad things Amanda do and not say the good ones she dose

When Amanda didn’t have a job she went around telling people her she finished school and decided to be useless

She went ahead telling them

Amanda never went to school

That she scammed herself

Everyone that is friend to Amanda’s mother or people she do talk to saw Amanda as a useless and didn’t want to associate with her or their children associating with Amanda

With all this she do say about Amanda

Amanda was the one that have been doing the cooking for over 13 years

She cleans

She do all this even when she is sick

With all this Amanda still didn’t hate her mother

She kept on making efforts to gain her love

But it was not of good help

When she started getting contracts

Her mother stopped replying to her greetings

She became envious over her

Probably like someone who didn’t want her to progress

Till one day Amanda greeted In front of a little congregation she snubbed and the congregation had to question Amanda

That’s was one when Amanda knew it was the height of it

Apart from that as a child Amanda has been having a feeling that her mother was cheating on her father

But now she is an adult she have come in conclusion and also see that her mother was cheating on her father

This hurt Amanda some much

Then sh decided to stay clear from the woman and mind her business
