Soe’s mother had eight siblings, but apparently, none of them helped out and Soe shouldered the burden alone. She also felt her ill-tempered grandmother didn’t appreciate her efforts.
“When my mother died in 2009, my life changed. I couldn’t face going home to my grandmother. My extended family wanted me to take care of her, but I was only 20. I had met my now husband over the Internet, so after I finished college, I moved to New York and we married. It may sound selfish, but I needed to move on after losing my mom.”
