Losing My
Daughter
It was in 1965 when I met my first
husband. He is half-black and half-Mexican. He also has a very big
muscular body. He would hit me every time he was drinking. But then
when I would try to leave him he would say that he wouldn't hit me
again. When I got pregnant from him I felt forced to marry
him.
After we got married he started
beating me up even more because I wouldn't listen to him when he was
drunk. During those years I was with my first husband I had three
kids. The oldest one is now in his early twenties and belongs to a
violent gang. My second son got into trouble so much he was sent to a
juvenile home. My daughter was raped by her uncle and committed
suicide. And all this because they all grew up with a violent,
alcoholic father.
Let me tell you about my daughter. It
all started when she was acting funny and I was wondering what was
the matter. It was after the rape and she had been out all day. I was
starting to get worried about her so I went out to look for her. My
husband had been partying and was home drunk with his brother. When
she came home that night her father's brother told her to kiss him
but she didn't want to. Her father was so pissed off he threw her
down on the floor. After picking herself up she went out to a big
tree in our backyard and committed suicide. When I saw her I started
crying, and tried to do CPR on her but she died anyway. When I told
my husband what happened he only got mad.
After her funeral I was looking
through my daughter's diary and I read where she said her uncle had
raped her while she was sleeping, and that's why she committed
suicide.
When I showed this to her dad, he
killed his brother. After that I decided I'd had enough violence and
divorced my husband. I then went back to my village where I found
another husband who is very loving. We have no children but at least
we have each other.
