Hello Everyone !

Today I want to share a true story about my aunt my mother’s youngest sister. Her life has been full of challenges, but it also shows how a person can rise above difficulties with courage and hard work.

She was the youngest in her family, the beloved “baby sister” who was always pampered by her parents. She was not very fond of studying, but her parents gave her everything she wanted. Life seemed simple and comfortable until tragedy struck. First, her father passed away, and just a year later, her mother also died. She was still unmarried at the time and went to live with her elder brother.

Unfortunately, her sister-in-law did not treat her well. She was made to do all the housework and was often denied proper food. Many marriage proposals came, but her sister-in-law would speak badly about her to others, ruining her chances. Finally, with the help of another elder sister, a suitable proposal was found, and she got married.

In the beginning, her new family seemed kind, but soon their true colors showed. Her husband refused to give her any household allowance or buy her basic needs. He argued over small things every day. Then she gave birth to a baby boy but even on that day, no one from her in-laws came to the hospital because they were busy attending a funeral in their family. She was alone in the hospital until one of our relatives came to help her.

After returning home, her husband’s behavior worsened. He only cared about getting the housework done and ignored both her and their child’s needs. Eventually, she moved back to her elder sister’s home. Later, her in-laws came to take her back, but the same problems continued. Her husband kept starting new arguments, and she felt depressed and trapped. Even my uncle advised her to leave if she could not adjust.

She returned to her brother’s house, but her sister-in-law resumed treating her badly. Finally, another sister took her in. At that point, my aunt decided she did not want to live in an unhappy marriage anymore. She wanted to raise her son on her own. She had no formal education and could not get a good job, but she was determined.

She set up a small shop in a corner of her sister’s house, selling stationery, snacks, and daily-use items. She worked hard every day, sitting at the shop from morning till evening. Slowly, she started earning enough to support herself and her son. Whenever she made a profit, she added more items to the shop, and her customers grew.

Eventually, she filed for divorce in court and was granted it. Now she is living independently, raising her son with the income from her shop. She no longer feels she needs to depend on a man to survive.

From her journey, I have learned that women can live happily and independently if they believe in themselves. We can work hard, fulfill our needs, and even raise children alone. We do not always need to depend on anyone else our strength comes from within.
