My life as a Ugandan girl

Back in the small town lived a girl her name was B. Grace. she lived with her dad and siblings, she had one sister and one brother . she was the third one .The first one was N.Angella 7 years old and the second one was M.Brian 5 year old.Grace was 4 years old , we lived with our dad and we were happy. until our dad stopped us from talking to our mom saying she was not a good woman and was a bad influencer to us it hurt us deeply but nothing to do.He was a changed man. we didn't know what changed him all of a sudden life started becoming hard. Our dad started ignoring us. He started being rude and abusive we were scared to approach him in any way. he got us a maid who could stay with us for some time. The maid was so abusive . One day when I was playing she told me I was stupid and I told her am to report her to my mom that's when I found out she wasn't my mom she was Brian's mom . She told me I was a b***h who didn't have a mom that was hurting to me . But I did nothing and things went on like that her calling me names and insulting me . Even my stepbrother could insult me . One day I reported her to my dad but he did nothing so the maid tortured me and didn't give me food for a full day . I cried in silence with no one to talk to. It took me a year of suffering in her hands but finally she was going . Now I turned 5 I was a wise girl who worked hard if I wanted to . So I started learning hairdressing for free I could go to saloons and learn . My dad could beat a hell out of me if he found out I was not home .I tried explaining but he didn't let me . I could cry in the bed until I drifted to sleep . and when I woke up I could always wash utensils ,fetch water or sometimes mop the house. That wasn't my problem . When we start schooling I could come back home and do some work then eat food. We were not allowed to eat before working. Our dad said we should work hard if we wanted to get something to eat , At school I had little friends but I could admire them. They had it all full family . I promised myself to work hard and I get one cuz here in Uganda people love those who have money .
