Madrid Chapter
Alex’s Story
Where’s Daddy?
This was the question I asked my mom everyday. I grew up in Bolivia in a family where my dad was never home.
When he was home, I remember hearing the fighting. The story was always the same, my dad was out working all day and came home drunk.
I have always been shy and the absence of my dad didn’t help my identity. But I found great comfort in my friends in Bolivia. Amidst the chaos of my home, my friends provided security. I played with them almost every day until one day I received the news: we were moving to Spain.
