2009

On a certain day in 2009, when Facebook was gaining popularity, my mom created a Facebook account. Around the same time, my third uncle found my mom on Facebook. Upon learning about this, my third uncle arranged for my maternal grandfather and second maternal uncle to come and pick us up. A few days later, my mom told me to pack our bags because we were moving, preparing to return to Tainan.

After making all the necessary preparations, my mom took the train while I rode in the car with my second maternal uncle, marking the end of our two years in Zhongli. After a four-hour journey, we arrived at our new rental place. My mom was already there (I forgot the details afterward), but what I remember is that her boyfriend was nowhere to be found.

The reason for his disappearance was later explained. His mental health had deteriorated significantly due to my mom, leading to severe depression. This, in turn, resulted in heavy alcohol consumption and eventually drunk driving, leading to the revocation of his driver's license. He ended up in prison for eight years. However, he never clearly communicated this to my mom, so the true reasons behind his depression and subsequent actions remain unclear. His early exposure to domestic violence in his own family and subsequent rebellious behavior, such as smoking and drinking, contributed to his struggles. He left home at the age of 14 and never returned. By ChatGPT translate
