the lost paradise of my mother

my mother
who was born and raised in a big family in Kachin state
Her father was alcoholic veterinarian, who got 13 or so kids with her mother.
Everyday she experienced was her father's violence against her mother.
But her mother, my grandmother thought everything was normal
beating up by the husband is normal,
continue serving the husband without hesitation after abuses were normal
My grandmother's attitude was carried out by my mother
When she eloped with my father, she was 18 and
i was born when she was 19 and my father was 17.
She met with my father's father's family in Yangon.
Praying in the morning in front of the Buddha stupa and alter
wishing well for all beings before the day starts
She thought she has found the paradise on earth.
She thought the deep hell of her father's curses are finished.
Now she is in the new life and has found a paradise.
the most unfortunate was
My father continued the typical Burmese male attitude and beat his wife.
My mother thought/still thinks it is normal.
she did not realize that this was the beginning of the lost of her paradise.
