When You Are Poor

My mother was the live in maid for this family in Monterrey, Mexico. We lived with our grandmother and my mother came to visit every other weekend. When I was fourteen my mother took me to where she worked because my grandmother was sick. My brother went to stay with an aunt. My mother's boss, the man that owned the house, came down to the maid's room and he told my mother to let him have sex with me. My mother stayed and watch to make sure he didn't hurt me. I got pregnant which made my mother happy. When I turned 16 I was sent to live with my mother's sister in San Antonio. My baby stayed with the family and I was causing problems between the father of the baby and his wife.

I had a lot of problem with English and I had to repeat two grades before I finished high school. No one in San Antonio knew about my baby in Monterrey, not even my aunt. These babies are for the family. When I finished high school I went to work for a company and the owner took me and impregnated me. I never told him that I had a son in Mexico. When my baby was born he decided with his wife that they would raise the baby, after I finished breast feeding him. It was like the same thing in Mexico.

I have two sons, one is now 10 and the other one is 4. I get pictures from my mother of my son in Monterrey and I was able to see him three years ago. I see my 4 year old son a lot because the wife lets me see my son. He knows I am his mother. My son in Mexico thinks my mother is his mother.
