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.

I hope you aren't one of those who abused their wives.
You want him to take a bullet for his abusive father? Com'on bro. I commend him for taking a bullet for his responsible mother.

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.

Pls, I really really feel & understand you but choose to be happy. You will have your time ,no matter what don't drop any letter , i say again no matter what dont but time will heal things. Some people does that too (like ur dad) they like being good outside and home from will be lacking. Don't ever confront your dad to support yourself attend smes to help u even till u are out of school and till u get job. This is not the time to take sides. You will see more and learn more by being focused and being patients encourage ur mum that things like this don't last its just a face. But u need to stay strong and prepare to get job so as to help your siblings too. In all never look up your parents in d eyes.


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.

Have you ever thought of asking your father the things he would want your mum to start doing that will make him happy and if he will forgive your mum for any perceived wrong she might have done to him in the past.
Don't take sides with your mum as it will only anger your father.
The source of crisis could be a wrong done by your mum which you may not be aware of and which may have infuriated and humiliated him to the point that he finds succour with other women. For you to put all the blames on your father shows your bias probably because she pays most of your bills as you stated.

Tell your mom to be ready to make some serious sacrifices as may be prescribed by your father for a new beginning, it could be financial issues, emotional, psychological or spiritual or she continues to maintain her stand with no solution.

You said she is a born again Christian but there are several cases whereby some women would obey their pastors and disobey their husbands, would spend more time praying or in church activities than attending to the emotional needs of their husbands and this breeds suspicion even when she is innocent.
You are too young to carry this matter on your head.

and is that a reason for him to neglect his duty as a father in the home?
Why must she be to seek forgiveness from him?

Don't send him any message. Assume he's dead to you.

Really, this trend is growing very fast in Nigeria, and a law should be put in place to curb this foolish attitude from men.

PS: if you're between the age of 25-18, and your parents are still together, be happy and grateful for what you have.

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.....

You need not send him any message, just ask him this question. Do you pray your Daughter marry a man like you.

Was it like that since they got married? If not, I think you've to talk to your mum first....

Anytime they're having disagreement, try not to side anyone ESP your mum.

Wait for the family meeting and let them conclude...

Sometimes, I prefer a broken home to an abusive marriage.

Don't waste your time writing that, he care less believe me, he won't even read it.
Why is it that people who cheats suspects everyone to be a cheat as well?.
Does your mum have a good job?, if yes, then it's best she divorce him and move on with her life.
Look at yourself for one, their marriage is already taking a toil on you and soon it may start to affect your academics.
She should move on with her life, I know why am saying this.

So they should also tolerate the beatings he serves their mom till they become independent, which may take a while for he is still in school, and that is if the man has not killed the mother by then with his incessant.
Yes the conversation would be a teary one, not because the father is really sorry, but that is simply because the man doesn't have a choice but to calm down, since it becomes obvious then, his children don't really need him anymore, and if he tries anything funny he knows he is the one to lose out.

Mind you am not attacking you, I just get very emotional over posts like this, at a point I felt he was describing my father.

You don't have to apologise, for saying That, simply because someone gave birth to you, doesn't mean he/she is a good person.
Bad people too get married and have children, enough of sentiments backed up with statements like" He is still your father, bla bla bla. I can't tell you what my eyes saw in my parents marriage how i which my mum never dated nor married my father.
You had better take her away from there before you regret It, after all she has a job.
I have intense hatred for people who stay in abusive marriages, whether physical, mental or emotional, do you even consider your kids.

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.

It saddens my heart to see tha most children these days go through almost the same family issues and most times.the father is usually the bad egg..
My father started this same way top..after so much tongues wagging he left the.house..went with his secretary and from there many other women came into his life..all he worked.for started diminishing..now he's so close to back to square one
.that's usually what happens when u ain't responsible.enough to cater for your family even when u r seeing someone else..my mum has been the one for me and ma siblings since 2006..trust me the best thing tha can happen to any child is to have a mother who is ready to stand by you during hurdles and burden of life..imagine a woman singlehandedly taking care of 5 children. .it's not like it ought to be but then only few men can take care of their kids as much as she's doing
So my dear be strong and pray God keeps blessing your mum and forget bouh ur dad for now trust me hes gonna come back begging buh then make sure u put in extra efort to make it in life..let this family issue motivate you and not break you

Just keep praying for your mum to give her more strength.

If he wants to be polygamous so be it, it is between your mother and your father.

And this letter is too rude, if you want to intervene you must go the way of appeal.

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

Living in a broken home is a very bad experience. I've been there but my dad never beat my mom and he never raised his voice, at least in our (children) presence.

From experience:

- Don't take sides. Know who you support within you. It'd all be history someday.

- As per domestic violence, let her decide what's best for her. You may help her make a better decision by doubling your hustle so that she doesn't "stay cos of the children". Let her know if she was a kid, you would have known what to advise but she's an adult and she should decide what's best for her. She'd get the message.

- As a matter of fact, double your hustle and help your siblings do the same. You don't necessarily need to get into something illegal. There are a zillion ways to make money.

- Do not write any letter to your dad. From experience, the best is to have a one-to-one discussion with him and be very diplomatic. Show that you are neutral and you want the best for the family.

- During the discussion, push him into telling you his faults in the marriage and your mom's too (there's no way she would be completely innocent. She could have done some wrong things innocently). That would give you an idea of what he thinks about her and how you can help.

- If throughout the discussion he shows he is very right, tell him you hope all his sons take after him and his Sons-in-law take after him.

- Do not visit your home frequently. Reduce it to about 2 times annually. Call your mom regularly to check on her and for updates. She's the weaker of the the two. If some of your sibling have left home for tertiary institutions too, let them do the same. Do not even visit during holidays. Your siblings could visit you and spend their holidays with you. When they are with you, call your dad and let him know you are on holidays but wouldn't be home cos it's a war zone.

- Look a little beyond the finances. He may have a lot of good things to offer beyond finances and she may have less to offer outside finances.

- 'Strongly' encourage him to look for other means to 'correct' your mom aside beating. Tell him it paints a very bad image of the entire family and shows he's a weak man. If you are Yoruba, there's a proverb for that and he would understand perfectly.

- Let him realize, without taking sides, that if the family should break, then both him and HIS WIFE (don't say your mom) have failed as a man and woman, as a father and mother and as role models.

- If you could have the discussion with boldness and tact, he would gradually change for only one reason: his son is speaking to him..... Unless he has been that way before you were born.

- If after the discussion and possibly 2 subsequent ones he doesn't change, especially as per physical assault, advise your mom to leave. You would be saving much more than just a life.

Above all, be neutral, diplomatic and treat your finances like you do not have parents. It helps a lot.

NB: If you are between ages 18 and 30 and your parents are still together, living under the same roof, either happily or not, enjoy it. It's priceless.

Shalom

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 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.
I wish I could recompense you for this COMPLETELY intelligent comment.

Quite a story bro and really heart breaking.u know it's a matter related to ur parents so u have to treat qith optimum sensitivity.since u have decided to take the bull by it horns,I suggest u make it more casual by asking your father for a talk.seat him down and tell him u are interested in restoring the lost joy in ur family.Dont lay any aligations yet on him even if u have evidences.i believe he will first be amazed at ur courage to speak to him.at first he might decline the meeting coz of guilt but make sure u get a talk with him.i believe he is gonna change but most importantly, kindly pray about this.God direct u bro.

Damn! Different families with different problems. Grateful to God that philandering wasn't an issue with my parents while growing up. I really don't know how to advise you on this one though.

that is why it is not good to judge with only one side of story. have u hesrd his fsthers side of story? so when someone says something about you i should just believe it and start pronouncing judgement on you without even hearing from u. that is not equity
I care less about his father's side of the story......no matter what's happened, it's not enough for him to neglect his children!! even if his wife has done something wrong to him, does that stop him from being a good father to his kids?? or will u cut off ur nose just to spite ur face??

and when these kids become successful in life, he will want to reap where he didn't sow. Rubbish
