My face was blank. Even my anger wasn’t showing. I know somewhere in me I’m weakened by all these but I wouldn’t show it.

My dad can’t win – he weakened me when he left, made me feel like I wasn’t good enough to be his daughter. It won’t happen again.

Why did he break his marriage vow? It was an affair, wasn’t it? If he needed another wife then he could as well have another daughter.

I cuddled myself on my bed. I wasn’t going to think twice on this. “I don’t need him” I told my mom. I really meant it – I think I did.

So far,...
