A South African lady, identified as Kai’s Aunt, has taken to her Twitter handle to reveal how her mother maltreated her when she was young, and how her death will be a relief to her.

The lady with the handle @bridgetbsk stated that black parents are abusive but nobody wants to talk about it, noting that her mother abused her physically.

She said her mother would beat her like she was fighting an adult, adding that she remembered that she started menstruating after her mother kicked her abdomen while beating her for losing R100.

Kai’s Aunt further revealed that there was a day her mom told her to make pap and she did but it was undercooked because she was still young as at then. She said her mother forced her to eat the whole pot of pap while slapping her at the same time.

She added that her chest tightens whenever her mother asks her for money, saying she won’t cry if her mom should die because her death will be a relief.

She said,

“Like…okay..how are you asking someone whom you kept on telling that you want nothing from them even if they ever made it in life? I personally don’t think I’d cry if my mom died, it would be such a relief tbh. She hurt me a lot.”

Guys, I couldn’t wait to grow up. I remember praying to wake up old and in my own place where she couldn’t hurt me. I never enjoyed my childhood because I was my mother’s punching bag.

My mom abused me physically, she’d beat me up like she was fighting an adult. I remember this one time she was kicking me on my abdomen cuz I lost a R100…lol that day I started menstruating.

When I’m strong enough & ready to let the world in…I will explain why I have operation scars that start from thighs down to my legs. But today I just wanted us all to know that a mother can break you. I’m glad I never broke. I’m a phenomenal woman because of all this.

She tormented me. She was supposed to be my best friend, she was supposed to protect me from this cruel world, but no I had to learn how to have my own back. I had to learn that I’m beautiful..on my own without anyone’s validation. She failed me as her only child.

Don’t tell me “she’s your mom”, she never played that role. I was her punching bag whenever my step dad did something to upset her. I was so young…I feared my mom. My heart would race whenever she came back from town. I found peace when she had gone out for a few hours.

Guys stop saying this was discipline. I was never a problem child. I was even isolated from other kids, I had no one to play with. I was always drawing people on the yard at home, even the drawing pissed my mom off. Also this is not even half of my story..it’s a glimpse.

???‍♀️ I never had a chance to study throughout primary school…I was always scared and terrified. I don’t know how I survived my mom. I honestly don’t know how I survived the monster she was.

I forgave her but I don’t think I owe her anything, my psychologist told me to block her and cut her off.
