Title: Mommy and Me

Artist: Maxima and her proud mom

Description/caption: This is a piece of pencil drawing I created in Jan 2020. It was the happiest and the darkest moment in my life. I welcomed my first baby but experienced the emotional abuse, financial abuse, psychological and physical abuse by my husband and his mother. Love is stronger than anger. I am a survivor of domestic violence and I am aspiring to be a thriver. In my healing process, my baby gave me tremendous courage to leave this abusive relationship and kept me alive. Her infant smell is so delicious which constantly soothes my pain. I have faith that everything will be fine when we are together.

Medium: Drawing
