The story goes thus: “I was engaged
to a man and was almost at the point of getting married. All arrangements had
been finalized and date fixed. All these had to be fast-tracked because I was
already pregnant. Anyway because the love was so strong between us, so I
thought, the pregnancy wasn’t an issue.
On the day of the wedding, he called
me up with a strange number to say he couldn’t go on with the plan because
there was another woman and he had just arrived a neighboring country.
To cut the story short, I was put into
ridicule by family and friends for a failed wedding and pregnancy for a Misfit.
I gave birth to my son who is 4years old today. But in honesty, for the last
four years, whenever I look at him, all I see is hatred, grief, bitterness and
hurt…. This is because he shares a striking resemblance with his father who has
caused deep and unforgettable wounds in my heart, Continue...
I know it is unfair to have such
negative feelings towards one’s son but it’s not something I do on purpose but
one who has gone through such trauma would act same way. My mum has asked to
take the boy from me and raise as hers cos she knows exactly what I see each
day with his face almost like that of his father.
Do I allow someone else raise my son
and probably destroy any foundation for mother-child bonding or just hang on
with him being around believing all will be well, I hate that I feel this way
uncontrollably about my boy because atimes he looks at me and senses the cold
attitude towards him. What can I do to help myself?”
