A Cuban mother in the United States was left in tears after reading a comment on TikTok telling her she should not return to the island, where she still has her children.
It was the user @nathyy.zaldivar.t who moved us with her video in which she talks about the difficult decision of leaving her children in Cuba while she emigrates in search of a better future for them. She explains that her main reason for returning to Cuba is the well-being of her children, despite also having her parents on the island.
“We have to return to Cuba for our children, we have our parents there but the main reason is them. Let no one tell me that I shouldn’t have left them because we made the sacrifice for them. My children, one is 5 and the other 10. I have told my children that if they want me to come back, I will come back and they tell me ‘Don’t come back because if not we will always live the same’. They are waiting for me to bring them back. They know what they are going through,” she says emotionally.
“No one should tell me that I am a bad mother for leaving my children, because many of us are in that situation and we make the sacrifice for our children, so that they can grow up and when they have their children, they don’t have to separate from them to give them a better future.”Add.
In her words, the mother tells how she has spoken with her children about the possibility of returning and how they, with maturity, have asked her not to do so.
The video has sparked a wave of comments and reactions on social media, highlighting the bravery and sacrifice of many Cuban parents who face heartbreaking decisions to ensure a better future for their children.
This testimony highlights the difficult reality of many Cuban families and the strength of those who fight for a better future for their loved ones, even at the cost of painful separations.
