First and Foremost:
I am a mother.
I name this first because
it matters most.
Marcia is important!
She is my daughter.
*
I grew up without a mother.
She abandoned me
and my four siblings.
I learned how important it is to have a mother
because I did not have one.
*
My father needed to immigrate
to the United States.
I was 19.
*
Without my parents to defend me
I experience much mistreatment.
Physical abuse.
Psychological abuse.
Emotional abuse.
I want a better future for my daughter.
I don’t want her to suffer
the way I have suffered.
