Mom, tell us about your life and being my mother?

When your father and I met, I was not the desired daughter-in-law, his parents were against our relationship. I always think that just because they were so against us being together, we got married. What is forbidden is what you desire, maybe it was childish rebelliousness because we got married despite all objections.

At that time, I was an “exotic” appearance in the Netherlands with an Indonesian mother and a Dutch father. My family and I were repatriated from Indonesia in 1957, I was 9 years old when I arrived in the Netherlands by boat. 

According to my in-laws, I wasn’t the right skin color to marry their son. They also didn’t attend the marriage and the relationship never improves later in life, despite multiple attempts.
