( Picture above is a picture of Enrique still on his own trying to get back to his mother, here he is working for money to get him through)

Sometimes families leave loved ones behine in hopes of a better life for them. But what happens when its a mother/father leaving thier children behind. In the book I am reading Enrique shares his story about being left behind because his mother left Honduras to go to the United States. On Enriques side as a child Sonia Mazario says " the children show resentment becasue they were left behind. They remembered broken promises to return and accuse their mothers of lying." ( 191 ) But as a mother Nazario writes " The mothers, for their part, demand respect for their sacrifice : leaving their children for the childrens sake" I think that its kind of hard to decide who is it that should get more understanding...it feels awful to feel abandoned and unloved even if that isnt the case...and kids just want their mothers...and it becomes easy for a child to feel hate towards thwir mothers but should this lids be more grateful and understanding towards their mothers. Because at points its hard to see a mother love their child when they decide to abandon them but they do it because they want only better for these kids and the only way they think they can achieve it is by leaving them behind
