A true story of a child who was abused and abandon by her own mother. Years after years, she was presented her same old dolly for Christmas. Never a new piece of cloth, all were hand-me-downs from her sisters. Even when given a voucher for a new set of school uniform, it had to be given to her sisters & she would still get their passed on uniforms.
Wetting her bed still at the age of 13 & balding, because of the anxieties she faces in life, her mother find it hard to bear the sight of her. Mum would ridicule her by inviting her classmate to her foul-smelling room & stripping her bare before bed so that she would not have to wash another soiled nightwear. Dismantle & hide her bed, pulling off her wig in the middle of the street, are some of her mum’s antics Constance had to endure.
One day without notice, her mum moved out together with her stepfather & their children, leaving her & 2 two sisters to fend for themselves. Constance actually see good to this arrangement at least she is now out her mum’s sight. Until her mum pay her unduly visits to demand for the rent & electricity bills. Besides school, she has to take up jobs to pay for her meals & the bills to her mum if not she will be thrown out of the house. Although it was tough, she no longer live in fear.
Once told that only smart kids goe to university, she visit her mum & told mum she had earned her own rights to a law school & would never talk to her again. Constance with a renew life walked out of her loveless childhood.
