This story is about a woman named Laura that had 8 children with 7 different men. She used to go pregnant and then leave the baby’s dad. The first six children were from six different dads. The last two were from a man named Nathaniel. Laura one day binged him to Miguel Street were she lived and he stayed there living with her for the entire nine months of his first baby. He started socializing with the boys in that street and used to say to them that Laura hasn’t leaved him because he leaved her in her place beating her. But the truth was that Laura was the one that beat Nathaniel. They found it out when one day Nathaniel tried to hide his beaten eye and he could dent. When his first baby borne all the guys from the street thought he was going to leave Miguel Street since Laura had never been that much of a time with a baby’s dad. One day Laura asked Nathaniel to go with her and he said no and after a little beating she said to leave her for good. When her big daughter Lorna grew up she send her to study typing and came back with a baby. Laura started crying but what shocked of this was that no one ever saw or heard Laura cry. One day Lorna decided to go to Carenage, were she drowned and died. Laura received the news and she said that was better off that way.
This story for me was really sad and shocking. How a woman had that many kids and didn’t stayed with not only one of the babies dad. To add to that she was the one that committed the domestic abuse to her kids and to the baby’s fathers. Domestic abuse is when someone force or use its brutal force to obtain something for someone without the person wanting to do that. Laura in the story used to do this to her kinds and to the baby’s dads. But what mostly shocked me wasn’t that she was the one that committed domestic abuse, what shocked me was that when her daughter died she said that it was better that way. Yes, I understand that maybe she didn’t wanted her daughter to end up as she did and teached, and maybe she wanted a way to prevent that but for me saying that was better off that her daughter died wasn’t the way to react and to feel when receiving that news. This is why I didn’t really liked the story besides I think that its title didn’t had to do with what we call truly “Maternal Instincts”.
