what my mother &sisters tell about my childhood

when my mother was carrying me  and she was in her eighth month pregnancy ,my father angry with her for some reason. So when she was sleeping on the floor he sat on her chest and slapped her hard many times. She could not escape him.He was sadistic most of the time with my mother.He did not even let her attend her brothers marriage.Then her parents sent sweets  and others to her.He did not let her eat them . he did not even allow her to give to some others. Hemade her dump them intrash cans kept atthe end of the street. She wept vey much. So many times  she tried to commit suicide being unable to withstand his cruelty.Once she tried to fall into the well but he saved her. After I was born , he sent her to karedu to bring money from her parents. She was humiliated  . she could not do anything because he would not let her into the house if did not go there and ask them money. In the midafternoon of summer she walked long distance carrying me ,barefoot to her mothers house weeping all the way. Many of the villagers who knew her were asking what had happened. she could not even answer them.Because of my fathers behaviour she was not given respect even in her mothers house.Once she had to  overstay there  because one after another we children had measles . So she could not leave the village. Then my grand mother who wa then at chennai with her son wrote a letter asking when she would be leaving the house. ther were so many other incidents for which she felt very much. she could not share her problems with any one. MOst of the problems were due to my father. so she could tell him these. She was not talkative and mixed easily with others. Mainly she was an introvert .
