00:00My name is Antonia. I am 44 years old. I live with my husband. His name is Eric. He is 49 years old.

00:12We have been together for 21 years. We have three beautiful children.

00:20But even after all these years, I cannot forgive my husband's parents.

00:26More than 20 years have passed, but I still feel hurt and upset.

00:34I can't forget what happened when I moved to another country.

00:40I didn't know much about my husband's parents.

00:45If I had known what I was going to face, I would have asked for a divorce before I left.

00:52I was young, only 20, and I didn't understand how life worked.

01:00I didn't know how to speak up for myself. I just accepted everything.

01:07My husband didn't help me. He was afraid of his father and always listened to him.

01:14I had to deal with everything on my own.

01:19I felt very lonely, and I cried a lot holding my baby in my arms.

01:26Before we moved, we lived with my parents.

01:31At first, everything felt okay, but it was still hard for me to think about leaving.

01:39I knew that I would have to leave one day, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

01:48We had to leave earlier than we planned.

01:52I said goodbye to my home, my family, and most of all, to my dear mother.

02:00She was everything to me.

02:03I had never been far from her before.

02:06Saying goodbye to her was like a part of me was being torn away.

02:12I was very young, and I didn't know what I was going to do in a new country.

02:19I was so sad that I thought I could not live with it.

02:25Moving away was very hard for me, and I became sick.

02:30My heart hurt for a long time.

02:33I couldn't stop thinking about how much I missed my home and my mother.

02:41My husband's parents didn't help me at all.

02:45They didn't care about how I felt.

02:48I was all alone.

02:49No one gave me the support I needed.

02:53I had to use all my strength for my son and for my mother,

02:59who was also very sad about the distance.

03:02I spent months going to doctors because I felt so weak and tired.

03:09I tried to stay strong, but it was hard.

03:13The doctor said,

03:15You need to rest.

03:16You are too stressed.

03:19But how can I rest?

03:21My husband does not care about me.

03:24His family hates me.

03:26I am all alone.

03:27Slowly, I began to work, but nothing was easy.

03:33I had to learn how to live in a new country where I didn't understand the language.

03:41At first, it was so difficult to communicate, but I worked hard.

03:47Over time, I learned new skills, and I found a good job.

03:53I began to earn money, and I started to feel better.

03:59I felt proud of myself because I was reaching my goals.

04:04My dream was to buy a house.

04:07I worked hard to make that dream come true.

04:11My husband, on the other hand, could not learn the language.

04:18He still struggles with it even today.

04:23For a long time, he didn't have a job, and I had to support our whole family.

04:28I always stood by him.

04:32I worked.

04:33I took care of him, and I supported him emotionally.

04:39But one day, everything changed.

04:43My mother-in-law started saying things that hurt me.

04:47She said she never had a daughter, but she always wanted one.

04:53She looked at me and said that all the other women had their mothers with them, but I didn't.

05:03She seemed to think I should be more like them.

05:07Now I wonder, what do they want from me?

05:11Do they want love?

05:13Do they want kindness?

05:15I can't give them that anymore.

05:19I don't feel that way about them.

05:21I only treat them with respect.

05:25I only greet them on holidays, and I try not to make them angry.

05:31I can't give them anything more than that.

05:36My mother passed away ten years ago, and I feel sad every day because I didn't visit her as much as I should have.

05:48I remember how my mother-in-law told me I shouldn't call my mother more than once a month because it was too expensive.

06:00It made me feel so bad.

06:03I only called my mother once, told her everything was fine, and then hung up.

06:09I did not want to make anyone upset.

06:13Now, after all these years, I understand what really happened.

06:21I realize my husband's parents didn't like me.

06:25They didn't care about me.

06:27They hated me.

06:28I don't even want to think about my father-in-law.

06:33He did something that I will never forget.

06:37One night, he kicked me out of the house with my baby.

06:43I was afraid of my husband, who was drunk and angry.

06:47I needed to stay there with my son to be safe, but my father-in-law didn't care.

06:56He told me I could go back to my home, but I couldn't take my son with me.

07:04That was too much for me.

07:07Of course I chose to stay with my son.

07:11He was my priority, and I would never leave him behind.

07:15It feels like this happened a long time ago, but even now when I think about it, I still

07:24feel pain.

07:26I still cry.

07:28Why was I so weak back then?

07:31Why couldn't I stand up for myself?

07:35Why do I still speak to them like nothing ever happened?

07:40It hurts me to be kind to them now.

07:43I can't pretend anymore.

07:47I can't wear this mask of happiness when inside I feel broken.

07:53I am sorry for writing this in such a confused way.

07:59It's hard to think about everything that happened, but I still need to figure out how to keep talking

08:07to them.

08:08I know I will never forget the pain, but I hope one day I can heal from it.
