I wonder about the wrong doings of your mother, I didn't read them. It must be hard to get married at the age of 15 and carry responsibility. Your son was way older as your grandmother and mother died and he still needed you but your mother had only your father.

If it comes to your father it reads as if he being able to cook and clean came at hand as the women in his life became ill. Somehow in a way it all must have be meant this way. What we learn at a young age will benefit us once older because we can do the tasks without stress.

Thank you for sharing this heartfelt story.
