My name is Sumathi and this is my story. I am married to my hubby Rao 25 years ago when I was 20. A year later we had our son Ramesh. Rao did not wanted anymore kids. So he had his tubes done. We have given all our lives to Ramesh's upbringing and he turned out to be a good lad. He finished his engineering and went to US.

Last year he returned for the first time. The reason is sudden loss of his father. It was a devastating time for both of us and he immediately came home. I never thought I would live through that time. But I did and it also changed my life for ever. Ramesh stayed back with me after the funeral. We sold all assets in the city and went to the village to live with my father. Ramesh also joined me. I kept telling him I will be ok and he should go back to US but he didn't.
