My mother had
stroke and no one was available to give her special care. My greatest undoing
was to bring her home, as my wife would not allow her a moment of rest. “I have
been accommodating all her siblings, but in return for my gesture, they
(siblings) have turned my life into a nightmare.
“First, she started by
starving her so I decided to hire a house help, who would be cooking and caring
for her. “But the humiliation on my mother came to a height after my wife was
seen dragging my mother on the ground, calling her a witch. I have been
enduring all other insults, but I could not bear this particular one. “She told
the cook not to come again.

meetings for us, urging her to change, but she refused. “I gave her the
treatment she deserves.”
