Diana Marua has opened up about growing in a home where he dad would be violent towards her mother. Although the mum later left the dad, Marua remembers how unhappy her mother was.

She recounts how one day her dad beat up her mother while she was breastfeeding.

She told True Love that,

MY FATHER WAS EXTREMELY VIOLENT.I DON’T THINK MY MOM WAS EVER HAPPY. I REMEMBER SHE USED TO CRY A LOT. THE HOME ENVIRONMENT WAS TOUGH.  I REMEMBER ONE TIME HE CAME HOME LATE AND ANGRY AND STARTED RAINING BLOWS ON MY MOM WHILE SHE WAS BREASTFEEDING MY YOUNGER SISTER. I WAS HAPPY FOR HER WHEN SHE LEFT

Mama Heaven played the role of a mother after she left but the environment she says got worse because their father now poured the anger of his wife to the children.

LOOKING BACK, I THINK MY DAD WAS BITTER. IF HE HAD PROBLEMS AT WORK, HE WOULD COME HOME AT TAKE OUT HIS ANGER ON US

Diana even admits all this took a toll on her at just the age of 6 to a point it affected her school performance. Even doing her homework was a problem because she has a lot of responsibilities at home.
