“When I was getting her, I had so much dreams for her. I imagine I would be the perfect mother and she would be the perfect child who would grow up to be somebody good in life with a good job and I would be proud.” She rubbed her belly as if the child was still to be born.
“Now looking back, I wonder what I could have done different. I have all these questions like where did I go wrong? And of course, the popular question ‘why me?’”
She is 44 and fairly-well educated with what she describes as a “reasonable job”. The daughter she had so many dreams for is 16 years old, pregnant and refusing to finish high school.
