A Broken Childhood: A True Story of Abuse is author Lydia Ola Taiwo's account of the physical, mental, and emotional abuse she suffered at the hands of her parents from five to twelve-years-old. As a young girl, Lydia is loved and cared for by other caregivers during her childhood, but the abuse by her parents, mainly her mother, overshadows most of what was positive in the girl's life. Like many survivors of abuse, Lydia still struggles to understand the reasons why her parents hurt her.

This was a common practice among the Nigerian community at the time, allowing young parents to work and attend school without having to provide and pay for childcare.

As they talked Her body stiffened on the muted fast Though well washed linen coverlet of her bed. The kitchen where we sat, a room I knew, Took on a strangeness with each word they said. How she was born where wealth was pennies, grew Into a woman before she was a girl, From dirt and pain constructed happiness, Shed youth’s dreams in the fierce sweat of a mill, Married and mothered in her sixteenth year, Fed children from her own mouth’s emptiness In an attic rats owned half of, liked her beer. Careless, they scattered pictures: mother, wife, Strikes lived through, hard concessions bought and sold In a level-headed bargaining with life, Told anecdotes in which her strength rang gold, Her eyes were clear, her wants as plain as salt. The past became a mint from which they struck Small change till that room glittered like a vault.
She hates it whenever I tell people that we are only 11 months apart because she still is my “sister”. We are like best friends and depend on each other. However, when we were young, it was like war in house everyday. We didn’t stop fighting until my mother would say “why don’t you guys just fight with knife?’ and then we would stop fighting. Anyways, our room was big because since my sister and I shared room, our parents connected two rooms into one room.
