Your mon have to be physically separated from your dad, it is apparent
that he is being irritated by her presence.

He will realise his mistakes but I hope it won't be too late by then

Do not send that letter!

For over 4 years my father have been accusing my mother of fornications which has been a serious issue in our family. (24 years old marriage)

My father have accused my mom of befriending different men in her work place,church and the compound were we live.

Me and my only brother don't stay at home most times due to our school (university).

My little siblings who are in elementary school are the only ones at home and my father keeps filling this kids heads with different kinds of questions about my mom.

Please note that my father does not stay at home often as he likes visiting the village and to be frank i and my friends have caught him several times but i keep it to myself and pray he changes one day just to prevent more chaos in the family.

One day we all went to the village. One of my cousin brothers who base in the village came to visit us. He is known to be a very funny person and to be frank he talks anyhow and jokes a lot.

But my mom was shocked when he told her that my dad had rented a shop for one woman and even bought refrigerator for her. My mom kept mute and never asked my dad.

As the accusations keep increasing my mom who have noticed several suspicious activities of my dad got angry and stated voicing out all she have heard and suspected about my dad including the refrigerator saga.

My dad has beaten my mom in several occasions but at night and even in the day.

Just to cut the story short:

There is a woman who lives close to us, her husband was a very close friend of my dad before he died.

We discovered that my dad eats food from her Unknown to my mom when my mom is not around and they both spend time together in our house and that of the woman.

We also discovered that my dad usually buys food stuff and pay for other items for her.

Now I'm very angry about this because he has carried this irritating life to to our neighbor who he claim the woman's late husband was very close to him and his just showing care for the family as a close friend to his late friend.

Currently now there are unpaid debts in our family, things are extremely difficult yet my dad could buy stuffs for the other woman.

My mom complains about how my dad uses his retirement salary for what she can't explain. He keep saying his clearing debts and all that.

I'm fed up. I want to take serious action. I want to come out to quarrel my dad to the last. After all he chased me out of his house because i had so hard with him due to this numerous accusations he keeps labelling on my mom without any tangible evidence. My mom keeps crying and have decided to call her family members for a joint meeting by next month after my dad have skipped about two different meetings called by my moms people (brothers and sisters cos her dad and mom are late).

Now below is the letter i want to send to my dad. I have made up my mind to take that bold step. Maybe it will change him. Please read below and advice me I'm totally confused i don't want our family to tear apart.

After carring out my research and investigations about the happenings in our family which has over the years been a threat to the unity, progress and stability of our coexistence as one family, i beg to state that:





1) Because you have decided for over 4 years now to frustrate, humiliate and disorganize my mother who happens to be your wife with all kinds of accusations,insults and disgrace for a reason best known to you. And:

2) Because you have derived more pleasure in carrying the bordens of your concubines and that of their children to the detriment of your own family even when you are aware of the sufferings and debts in your family.

I want to make it clear that as a result of this, i have taken it upon myself not minding how it will effect me to suspend anything that has to do with the both of us till futher notice to enable you have more finance and less opposition to continue with those activities of yours that gives you pleasure but i find disgraceful, irritating and odious to me.

Thank you.....

Please Don't mind my English and focus on the write up, na vex i dey use right all this stuff...
You are a very very foolish child to want to confront your Dad this way. This is exactly why my friend believes that male children of today are completely useless and worthless. He has a daughter whom he dotes on and that girl loves her dad so much to the extent she can take a bullet for him. You on the other hand your Dad should have sold you to buy recharge card. You are completely worthless as a son! As far as I am concerned , if you are his only child , then he should count himself childless.

First it sounds like you're siding with your mum, if I was your dad, that would make me even angrier with your mum cause I would think she's turned my kids against me. Secondly, your dad seems bored, I think he's going through a phase, you need to help him through this by constantly reassuring him of the family's undying love and loyalty whilst at the same time letting him know how his actions are adversely affecting the coherence of the family. Finally talk to your Mum, she needs to ignore your father's daliances, it's too late in the game to let his mid life issues ruin her happiness...however, wife battery is not permitted under any circumstances, so if he resorts to that again she needs to avoid him till he gets his temper under control....no use emotion handle this situation, it's very dicey.

It's your mother you should be advising not your dad. She needs to stop forcing herself to be in his life. The man has proved in actions, words and writing that he no longer wants to be married to her. She needs to separate from him before he kills her out of anger and frustration.

Just imagine the irritation you feel when someone is around you, you don't like the person and the person will not go away. That is probably how he feels. Of course he is making all those stories up so that he can easily dump your mum soon and move on to his next woman. Thankfully your mother has a job and has been taking care of her own kids. You need to advise her to either leave him alone or stop telling you about their issues and deal with the physical and health implications of remaining with your father.

Calling ur mum a cheat is simple justification for his own actions. Your father no longer has interest in your mum but what beats me is that he has chosen to neglect his children which is baffling. Or does he think he's gonna bury himself by himself? Instead of sending him that letter, instead remind him of the repercussions of what he's doing presently and the implications for posterity sake.

I've come to the realisation that when there're issues between parents, the "Mother" usually gets sympathy from the kids. There's no smoke without fire. That you haven't caught your mum cheating doesn't mean she may not have cheated on your dad ever. I don't support the domestic violence but this isn't your call but elders. It's disrespectful calling his bluff for him. Let an older person with more wisdom handle this issue, your actions could aggravate things.

The first paragraph of your letter shows you took your mother's side and your dad would see it that way. Why not write him another letter, telling him of the good times you all shared together as a family, and stating why you would love him to change and make things work between him and your mum. Do this then invite the elders to talk to them both.

Most marriages go through this phase over time 'cause "Love" isn't enough. What they need to live with is wisdom.

Very wise approach.

I personally don't think the letter will change anything. It will be you giving him less things to bother about. Domestic violence is a no no. Please be the unifying factor and man of the house. Keep trying and praying. God will help you and your family.

As in I feel your pain, my case Z my daddy spending money for my step mother relations, I love my step mother children so much ( they are children of The dead)


My step mother went to her village after my dad spent millions for her related families, built houses for them n all that. She just called my dad that she z not coming again, my dad begged her, sent monies yet she no gree come, she said she will still be his own bit he will have to be sending money over

My dad loves eye service, sent for one of her relations, got her a job, where she z been paid in dollars, 40k equ. But me for the past two years no job

He keeps telling me no money, my dad can spend 5k for 3 soup in a weak n what do I get nothing or at most 1k to manage.


A time came because of his wife, he halted plans for my marriage, gave me 7days ultimatum to park out. Honestly I don't want to remember again(this happened June 2017..

I believe you are old enough to know that things concerning couples are very delicate. Check out when these accusations of infidelity started from your father. Do a little background check and be sure your mother is clean before you act.

Men who love their wives can't get over them cheating (I'm not saying your mum is guilty). Another thing you should consider is that women know how to play the victim very well so watch out. You need your father more than your mum (we are black Africans, remember).

I personally lived in hate for 30 years until I found out who was the real enemy. By then the innocent person was dead. I've not gotten over it for 8 years. Don't be like me.

It

Maybe i should wait until after the said family meeting by next month.

If he skips the meeting this time

Or

Continue with his current behavior then I'm done with him.


The most painful thing is, one will keep managing in school while your dad will be sponsoring other women and their children. It pains..


This man has been doing this for years especially when he was still working.


Now he is only receiving pension, why can't him call himself to order instead he is fornicating and sponsoring other women while at the same time accusing my mom of the same fornication.

We have a lot of financial needs.

My dad had money, he was balling but now no investment, incomplete house. The few furnitures we have in the house my mom bought them all.

He married late and close to 30years older than my mom.


That man is a complete failure. So sorry to say but he has refused to take correction.

It is baffling, a man 30-year older than his wife of 24years.your father should be over 70 years even if he married your mom when she was just 15years.
It is so sad for an elder to behave as such.

My mom can, the most painful thing is the little the man has he is still sharing it with his concubines. Up till date my dad prefers to show himself outside and let the family manage.

A man who worked for years before his retirement, had cars and even dashed one out couldn't complete his house till date.



Whoever tells you not to send the letter is not telling you the truth...when my father did the same thing, when it was too much... as of 15 years old..the entire house was shocked..i entered the house carried my mothers clothes inside bags and told my mum, let's goi'm tired of all this mess... it never repeated itsle for at least five years...stand up to the guy...i don't need the details..your mum can not cheat, why would she wanna lose it all

Please watch over your mum and your siblings, and don't meddle into their lives, because you will create more problems than solution, you were not there when they started their relationship. If your mum is hypertensive this is the best time to support her the most, encourage her with kind words. Try contacting the elders in your family, including your pastor or imam and be prayerful too, because sometimes these cases are not ordinary, it requires prayer and patience. Don't allow the situation to affect your academics and that of your family. Since you have seen the type of man your dad is, strive to be a better man and don't go about hurting other women thinking its a norm.

OP i was in such situation, so i understand your plight. Your mum should never have anything to do with HIM sexually again, she MUST protect herself (advice her please). You must have understood that it's not easy out there, so your hustle must be real. DELETE the man from your life, even though you don't tell him to his face.

PRAY, PRAY and PRAY.

Eventually, you will learn to live happily without him.

May you find wisdom to tackle this issue wisely. And please don't crucify your dad yet. Points to ponder, reflect back when u were young, is this your dad's way of life? If not, think of when he started behaving like this and the likely causes then seat your mum down and ask some questions. See, your old enough to call your parents to order. Be a man! No family is perfect. May God direct you well bro.

Bro don't do that. Unless u know ur mummy can provide for you and u need less of your dad. And by the way u would need your dad in the future even if he is a Adulterous. When u grow up enough u would understand why ur father or mother behaves the way they do then u can either shun or allow them to be. Choose your side which is your mom and keep your intention to your self. Some men are beast at this stage in life but when they see their children start becoming independent that's when they change . WAIT TILL THAT TIME.
Great advice.
Also from Benita: Why not write him another letter, telling him of the good times you all shared together as a family, and stating why you would love him to change and make things work between him and your mum. Do this then invite the elders to talk to them both.

You are his son, you should never insult him no matter what, it is for the kindred who are older to address it not you, never! Especially the way you want to take it, only bastards do that.

I've had my share of family crisis and discord, most times, it easier to take the side of your mum.. When marriage goes south and thing get to the extent that couples now only tolerate each other because of the children. My advice is that you MUST not in any occasion choose sides. You may be angry at the moment , but I can bet you that in some years time when you are earning income and taking care of them, you'd see things from a different angle. Don't choose sides.. Speak to your dad personally and then, your mum individually. Sometimes a joint or family discussion may work, in other times it doesn't even go any where asides to cause more damage. In some cases, you just have to carry the baggage along hoping that time heals the scars. But never chose sides. Its not your problem, some of these issues run deeper than you think.. Speak to them and let it be... Support them and most of all get on with ur life and hold close to your siblings if you have any.. These guys are already done with their lives, they've made errors, enjoyed , laughed, cried, etc.. You have a lot ahead of you, so don't carry their baggage. Focus on your life and your siblings, try keep the peace (ensure no wife beating and abuses)

You father is almost thirty years older than your mum and the marriage is 24 years old.

Please Don't mind my English and focus on the write up, na vex i dey use right all this stuff...

So you want to disown your father.. grin Nna you must be very stupiid. Youths of today have let Wizkid and Davido erode their ability to reason.

Now listen before you let the small aji amu (pubic hair) you started growing last week deceive you into doing something extremely unproductive and foolish, go to Mama Tega's shop, collect 1 SK of 200 Naira and rizla, find a nice quiet place where Police no go catch you and smoke the whole thing. When you call down, ask yourself what that foolish letter aims to achieve and what will it solve.

Taking your story to be true, that means your mother is in an abusive marriage. I will hazard a guess that you are the Di Opkara (first born Son) of the house. That means you should always be around to protect your mother from your father's wrath in case it goes overboard. If you are not in that house, you can't protect your mother. I am not saying fight your Father, but take whatever measures are necessary to only stop the beating and nothing more.

If your father is indeed a philanderer, there is nothing you can do about it. I have a strong feeling your mother will not leave your father so you have to hurry up and grow up, find a genuine hustle, step up and become the provider for your mother and siblings.

I can bet your mother will never leave your father as it is almost always the situation in these types of cases. I suggest you start recording these acts of violence towards your mother whenever they happen for posterity sake as you never know when you may need it. But whatever you do, do not leave your mother alone without protection. Also do not confront your father. Nothing good will come out of it. If your father kicks all of you out today, do you have any support outside? If No, then patience and tolerance should become your mantra. Don't antagonize him.

Try and consult any elders that he listens to and respects. Approach them with solid evidence like the videos you would have recorded and photos you would have taken and more (not verbal accusations). Only they can talk sense into his head and even then, nothing says he will listen or change. In fact depending on the type of Man he is, it may worsen things.

Don't let your tostestorone push you into making any rash decisions.

A word is enough for the wise.

Madcow..
