“I don’t think my mom was ever happy. I remember she used to cry a lot. The home environment was tough. My father was extremely violent. I remember one time he came home late and angry and started raining blows on my mom while she was breastfeeding my younger sister. I was happy for her when she left,” narrated Diana Marua.
