Tell ur mother everything ur father did to you and forgive ur mother. Also pls understand that ur mother was a victim of women's oppression like u were beaten and oppressed by your father. He is an evil bastard.

Nkhumi, stay strong and all you need to do is Love your mother. Love will conquer all, my sister. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive your father. It is only through forgiveness that we can begion to live again. Much Love. Write me an email if you need someone to talk to. Much Love.

Very nice, albeit sad story. Will the storytellers see our comments? If so, I would advise: Just get to know your mother, bit by bit. When you think the time is right, tell her how you are sorry about how your father treated her. And how much you missed her. 3 generations of women together and a new chance. Good luck!
