From the very first episode of Chat With Mother Texas Milk, diaper mother Van Nguyen (SN 1987) brought the audience to tears. She told about the journey of being a lonely mother and the time when many events happened in her life, before reuniting with her husband in the US.

In 2011, Van Nguyen suddenly discovered she was pregnant after 3 months of her husband returning to Vietnam to visit.

“My husband has been gone for 2-3 weeks, then I feel pain in my stomach. At that time, I didn’t think much, I just felt pain in my stomach, so I went for an ultrasound. When I heard the doctor told me that I had a 3 week pregnancy bag, I was “stuck”, and then my mind was floating somewhere: “Wow, naturally pregnant?”, Van Nguyen shared.

After informing her husband, the two seriously calculated their future plans even though they were not psychologically prepared to be parents. Unstable work, unstable finances, Van Nguyen’s husband decided to save his study results to go to work and earn money to raise his children.

However, difficulties piled up when Van Nguyen had to “cross the land” alone in Vietnam. Although she wanted to give birth naturally to experience all kinds of emotions when becoming a mother, but because of her weak body and health, she was forced to have a cesarean section. After 8 hours of lying in the postoperative room, she was once again panicked when her relatives informed her that the newborn baby was just lying still, not moving. “It’s just a joke, because when the younger brother ‘pokes’, the baby cries!” – Van Nguyen smiled and explained.

Just like the first time being a mother of many other people, Van Nguyen is very stressed because she alone takes care of her baby crying at night and day and night. Her husband had to return to the US to continue his work after returning home to visit mother and daughter.

In 2018, an unexpected event occurred, causing Van Nguyen to fall into depression.

“I remember very well that around 9-10 am on March 29, 2018, I got my left hand stuck in the sugarcane juice machine. The first night after surgery, relatives informed that the doctor had removed 3 of his fingers. At that time, I was not crazy, I was not awake. I raised my hand to look, couldn’t scream, tears kept flowing. It happened to me so suddenly!”, Van Nguyen confided.

Not yet overcome the sudden pain of losing a part of his body, 2 months later, Van Nguyen’s father suddenly passed away. Everything seemed to fall apart, she could only call her husband and expect him to return to her side.

In September, she decided to go to the US with her husband to start a new life. Van Nguyen said that because she is lucky to live in a city with many Vietnamese people, she gradually balances her life. Van Nguyen works, helps her husband, from the nail salon, the convenience store to the laundromat…

Through Van Nguyen’s sharing, the audience also partly understood the hard life of Vietnamese people living and working abroad, especially the life of mothers with milk. Through the program, Van Nguyen also wants to convey a meaningful message to the audience, especially mothers who are facing depression: “In any case, in any situation of life, we must Be strong and believe in yourself to get through it all.”

At the end of the program, Van Nguyen emotionally sent words of love to her husband when she had given so much love and was a source of motivation for the mother and daughter.
