Answer:
Her parents were never married or united throughout her lifetime. Vernita Lee, Oprah's mother, was poor from birth. Oprah entered kindergarten at five years old but rapidly moved up to first grade due to her IQ. Her wits enabled her to accomplish so much in her life. When she was seven, she got her first bed and room. For the first seven years of her life, she slept on a sofa or the floor. She was nine when she moved home with her father, Vernon Winfrey. It was worse than living with her mother. Oprah was assaulted from 9 to 13 years old. She kept her mouth shut, scared of the result. Her abusive relative threatened to murder her if she informed anybody. The event left Oprah physically and emotionally drained. But she didn't give up and continued battling. Oprah ran away from her difficulties several times, but she was always discovered by local cops or her father. When she was fourteen, she got terrible news. Oprah found out she was pregnant but miscarried the baby. The father was never identified or mentioned. Oprah had a difficult upbringing but maintained a positive outlook.
