Mbali’s story Mbali’s young mother was involved in unsafe sexual
relationships, resulting in an unplanned pregnancy and the birth of an
unwanted baby, called Mbali. After Mbali was born, her mother became
extremely depressed. She would lie in her dark bedroom for hours whilst
Maggie would lie crying in her crib in the next room. By the age of 8 months,
Mbali has learned to soothe herself by rocking her soft toy rabbit her
grandmother gave her. By the age of 2, she learned that her temper tantrums
would bring only anger and shame. She was extremely shy and uncertain in
nursery school and would hardly say a word in class. Mbali was anxious and
did not like the class activities. She did not play with the other children. All
she wanted to do was to repeatedly draw pictures of a very lonely girl in the
woods. Mbali did not want to go to Grade 1. She was scared and cried every
morning when her mother dropped her off. The children teased her without
mercy. During breaks, she would sit alone and draw pictures in her
scrapbook. She felt sad and lonely. In Grade 9, she went to a new school and
her new art teacher discovered that Mbali was a talented artist. She
encouraged Mbali to focus on art. However, Mbali could not believe that she
was good enough in art and she started to avoid her teacher. The changes in
her pubertal body made Mbali feel awkward and ugly. She could not
understand herself and the stormy feelings that she experienced. Her mother
did not know how to handle her mood swings and they argued daily. By the
time she reached Grade 10, Maggie was an angry and discouraged child. She
did not know where she fits in and isolated herself from people. The only
comfort she found was in her drawings.
