Details Of The Post
According to Ada Igbo, after parting ways with her husband, she reached out demanding financial assistance, but he ignored her, along with his family.
Addressing comments about her leaving the marriage, she wondered what she should do while emphasizing that her husband has been a ‘deadbeat’ regarding their children’s affairs.
Her lengthy Facebook post reads below..
January 4th makes it one full year since I left my marriage with my children.And ever since, people keep saying,
“You shouldn’t be taking care of those kids alone.”“Their father should be providing..“Why didn’t you leave them with him?”“Why don’t you send them back to Nigeria?.
Let’s remove one thing immediately: leaving my children with their father is not an option. So let’s scrap that.
Yes, their father should be providing. I agree.That’s why I wrote him a letter asking for financial support. He read it.He ignored it.
He said nothing. His family said nothing.Till today, silence. So now I want to genuinely ask those who keep talking:
Since I “shouldn’t carry the burden alone,” what exactly should I do?.Drop my children on the main road and go and live my life?
Hand them over to someone who has chosen to be absent?. Return them to a situation I left to protect them?.People talk like single parenting is a choice I woke up and made for fun.
As if I didn’t first try communication.As if responsibility can be forced on a man who has decided to be mute.
This is a sincere question. How do you make a man who has chosen to be a deadbeat suddenly become involved in his children’s lives?
Because from where I’m standing, I didn’t choose to do this alone.I was left with no other safe option.
And until someone gives me a realistic answer, I will continue choosing my children over people’s opinions. It’s 4days to Christmas and I decided to scream out hopefully I get help.
