So here is a recap.....
I met a guy,
Dated, broke up,
Met up again,
Hooked up,
Got pregnant,
Kept it secret,
Parents found out,
Gave birth.
Now I feel like we are all caught up 😂😂😂.
So remember I told you that the dad had said that he was ready to take up his part, in the parenting game......
After the baby was born ,for the first few months he use to bring me soup at home and made sure that he called often to check up on us. But there was a problem, He had never told his parents that he was a father. I begged him to tell his parents and mine but he said that he was not ready for his family to find out.
I got angry got his mother's number from his phone and texted her that I was pregnant and her son was the father. DON'T JUDGE ME. From that day I never heard from him again.
Well a few months after that a mutual friend came home to see my son and he told me that my baby daddy was leaving for greener pastures abroad. I felt so hurt but I could do nothing about it. I chose to move on.
One day as I was coming home from school (ooh sorry! When my son was 1 year my parents took me back to college. Bless the Lord for them) a car pulled up towards me and stopped a few meters from where I was standing, when they rolled down the window I couldn't believe my eyes...
Two years! I had not seen Him for two years, his son was now walking and he could even call him by his name but he had never seen his father and here he was.
He said Hi and asked me how our son was doing? I told him that he was now all grown up. He asked if he could come visit and I agreed.( I know, stop judging me ☺☺)
So he came home, of course he first had to be sure that my parents were not around. He had bought him so many toys and I accepted them. I hadn't known that there was an issue with what I had done until My folks came home.
They were so angry that I had accepted the gifts and I was told to return the toys and tell Him that the child had not been eating toys for the last two years, I also can't believe I shared that haha.
I felt so embarrassed I decided not to return them so I hid them at my friends place. "I can't believe that you gave them all out Angie"
My parents gave me instructions: If He wanted to see the baby He would have to come home and acknowledge that the baby was his. I told him what my parents had said but he refused to do.
He went back to work and never communicated with me again. This was in July of 2009. I went back to school and life went back to normal.
On the 11th of April 2010 at Citam Karen during the second service I gave my life to Christ (I will start with this story on the next blog).
Karimi,you have been my neighbour for as long as i can remember but i would never have thought that this is you and path you have walked..You are a very strong person even to share your life story on a public platform. I applaud you and your courage. Keep on keeping strong and do not relent in the quest for a better life for your child.
