In her words:

“For years, I was a single mom to my daughter, Michelle and just 3 days ago I had to send an apology text to her for the harsh upbringing I gave her.

A few years ago, I sent my daughter to Canada for school. One day, I called her several times and she didn’t pick up. I was worried, and I had to call her friend.

When she eventually picked, she said ‘mummy, I am traumatised, I remember how you hit a bucket on my head when I was young’.
