Ewa’s parents get a divorce when she is twelve. Ewa’s father returns to Poland to look for work to support his children, but to no avail. Without child support, her mother tries to make ends meet in the Netherlands by working as an interpreter and translator. The children grow up as their mother tries not to collapse. Ewa: “Believe me, you notice when your mother is not feeling well. It took quite a while. I think until I turned twenty, and after that it was on and off. It was only five years ago that she started doing much better.” She smiles at her mother, apologetically. Mirka nods.
