Felister from Dagoreti has narrated how her mother used to go home drunk with men, and after she slept, these men would turn to her and force themselves on her, and when she would tell her in the morning, she would tell her she was lying.
According to her, her mother got married to another man, but she was always drunk, and they later separated after she gave birth to two kids. Life was not easy since her mother would get drunk in the morning and later come home at night.
She says that they used to collect food from the dustbin, clean it, and later eat it because her mother didn’t care if they had eaten. It reached a point where her mother started coming back home with men, and they would do their things while she was there with her siblings.
At this time, she was in class five, and whenever her mother would come home at night with these men, they would wait for her mother to sleep and later force themselves on her; she says that whenever she would tell her mother what those men were doing to her she would abuse her.
Felistar says that after she finished class eight, she ran away from home since she didn’t know any of her relatives and started working as a house girl. Later, she found another job, rented a house, and went and picked up her siblings from her mother to protect them from whatever she went through.
She said that until now, her mother is still a drunker, and they don’t have a good relationship with her, but she hopes that one day they will be a happy family.
