Manana Gotsiridze, a psychologist of the Fund “Sukhumi” says:
“She was thin, bent, frightened-looking, without front teeth, with low self-esteem. She said that it was her faith. Her mother endured drunkenness and beating from her father, she pitied her, now she pitied her husband for leaving him alone in a huge household. She left him with her son, but then he lured the boy to buy a phone, a moped, etc. She does not want her son to be left without an inheritance, to live without a father. She remembers how hard it was for her and her mom without dad. She never thought that she would find herself in a similar situation.
