A Soul Unbroken

I was born into a strained and polygamous family. I and six siblings naively oblivious to the rivalry between our father's two wives that his two wives were keenly aware of the acid of jealousy that was corroding their souls. Hold it! Did you say my grandpa had two wives? He seemed puzzled. Yes, you heard me right. Two wives. T-W-O W-I-V-E-S! Don't get lost in your imagination; presuming to have multiple wives was all about various gratifications.Along with that also came multiple headaches, problems, if you know what I mean. She sipped the remaining portion of her coffee. Just listen, son, because I don't want you to miss out on the important points concerning polygamy as practiced among Liberia tribes. In the Americo-Liberian world, he was fully aware that, in most successfully turn out as hoped. Many of such agreements failed for several reasons: The indigenous children ran away from their guardians because they became homesick; suffered culture shock, mistreatment, etc.In most serious cases, the guardians abused the indigenous children when they found that it was too difficult to replace the indigenous cultural habits of the indigenous children with western or European cultural habits.My short version of the story is that the so-called civilizing process's emotional and physical burdens made my life a living hell. My guardians, the man, and his wife were the Devil and their biological children, the demons that tormented me. The Devil built a fire, and the demons stoked it. And we, the wards, sizzled in the oven of hell in which we were kept. She sniffled and wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand. Real, it hurts, but it has to be told. Your generation must know what we had to go through to be so-called civilized ...? Oh, yes! They were staunched Christians. They made sure to Christianize us, native children, to save us from barbarism and heathenism." A Soul Unbroken went through things in the Liberian Parenting Foster The Care system was inhumane.
