Domestic Life

Now the books getting into Leymah's personal life. It describes her unhappy marriage to a man who beats the crap out of her. She tells you about how much she really loves her kids and the sad way she has them. Honestly, reading this book makes me feel really...sad, but also grateful and appreciative. It makes me happy that I have so many nice things, happy that i have clean clothes, food, and a roof over my head. It makes me think about my mom and all the things she does for me, and i would be kinda screwed without her. In Mighy Be Our Powers it tells you how Leymah pulled herself out of a suicidal slump just because of her kids. She was able to bring herself back from a place so dark she didn't think she was going to come out of it, just for the sake of her kids. It just, makes me think about my mom and how much our family depends on her and how she would do the same for me and my brother
