Victor and his family lived with his in-laws. Paying their
share of the bills became a regular struggle. But their greatest
challenge came not from outside, but from within the Party.
“In my wife’s collective, they questioned why we were
having a hard time sustaining our family. They couldn’t
understand why we had to solicit from other people. They were
questioning where we were spending our money. They started
treating us differently, like we were problem for the movement,”
Victor said.
He added: “It’s easy to survive if you’re single. You’re
treated well. But when you have a family to feed, they say to
your face that it’s not the responsibility of the party to shoulder
them. So you have to be creative in providing support for your
family.”
Victor had to look for sponsors for his children’s education.
Even school projects had to have sponsors because the money
they were receiving were only enough for their food.
