Am from a broken home because of that my dad gave me out when I was 10 years to become a house help to his sister collecting money from her for my service, so my dad's sister and her husband treated me like a body, I was forced to go to school with a baby of 6 months which I never stayed in class because the child always cries, at 15years I ran away to go stay with my dad and his siblings but my dad saw me and become angry and said to me for coming back home he will never feed me, I starting selling water just to feed myself, God so kind in months to come I got to work as a salesperson and things started getting better, behold I turn 21 years and I met a man who says he wanted to marry me and because I was going through hardship. I got married to him thinking all will be well, I have 2kids and he started abusing me emotionally by calling me a poor low-class lady, right now am 27 and have yet to achieve anything, I got up on my feet and learned hairdressing and little by little was able to start schooling, he became jealous and stop giving money but gives me money for his kids up keeping and from there am still able to pay my school fees, I am not yet done. I wish I have a miss of income to be able to fund my education, I am a hairstylist but have no shop, I pray for help to locate me and my kids
