Beauty and Gaston - 8

     

25th December 2015

Dear Diary,

I could not remember where I hid you, and I just found you when I was cleaning the storeroom. My mum finally showed up at our house, but she didn’t believe me when I told her all that had happened. She said that those things happen in movies, and even if Kwesi hit me, it must have been something that I did. She then went on to give me a lecture on how I should be more respectful and compromise more whenever I had to talk with my husband and make decisions. I have finally realized that I am on my own and at the mercy of this man.

Today is my birthday, and I pray that God delivers me from this mess because I don’t know how I am going to survive it.
