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. 8 Likes |

Prosper24: 1. Your father will turn a new leaf after all the kids become independent 2. By then all the kids attention would be on the mom, sponsoring her every needs and the dad would truly understand the consequences of all his actions 3. Wait till that time. The patient dog eats the most successful bone 4. Instead of letter, by the you would verbally say your mind to your dad. That convo is gonna be a teary one. Trust me.

Prosper24: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. 2 Likes |

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. |

[quote author=Phinalphantasy post=58965972] 1. Your father will turn a new leaf after all the kids become independent 2.

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. Talking from experience too |

Benita27:this made me laugh hard,prayers you say? You probably cannot relate to what the op is saying. A guy that was toasting me back then once told me that I was the daughter of a big man ,that he sees how my dad balls outside.this is someone that since I was born till now i donot owe him a biro.The last time my father gave me money was 2008,that was #200 for transport when i went to tell him i got admission into the university and he told me to go and get married that my husband will train me,hehehhehe. So my dear prayer is a waste for such people focus the prayer on yourself instead to be better than your father ever imagined you will be 5 Likes |

[quote author=Prosper24 post=58947522] 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. [/quote 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. Men, pleaseeeeee, if you know you are not ready to be married and stay very married, please be single all your miserable life you would be doing the human race a huge favor, nonsense. 2 Likes |

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 7 Likes |

I really feel your pain, I also have similar problem as well,these fathers are always looking for one excuses or the other on there wives just because they know they can't fulfil there responsibilities and they are always finding a way to split u and your mum but bro I don't think its necessary for that letter because so many times we have calledmine to some of his responsibility but still denied. Just keep praying for your mum to give her more strength. For your Dad?leave him alone and dont allow your mum denial any of her responsibility on him though its hard to do but those things will tell on him later in future. 1 Like |

As bitter as it may sound... Please stay out of it because it is not your marriage, is your parents marriage and you have no business sending anybody letter. 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. |

dominique:I thank God for using you to vindicate me.. foul mouthed creatures. evil like their mother eve. tell me. did God create woman? did he breathe life into her? the answer is no.. woman was formed from d rib of man. she is breathing the life of man.God never created her like he created man. so listen man is the bringer of life so u belong to ur dad. the air you breathe is your dads life. bro i repeat, never ever you succumb to womens ways. they easily evoke pity but dont be decieved. many people are in prison today because of the wily ways of women . beware. even adam was destroyed by a woman and everything the world is facing today is because of eve a woman. bros.. i advise you to call your dad aside and ask him to tell you what he knows dat u dont know.. i am sure he will tell you enough to full your ears. instead of running from him, move closer to him. 1 Like |

Prosper24: 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 2 Likes |

I don't understand why people are saying he shouldnt take sides..... You have two parents, one is useless and the other is the one doing everything to take care of you.......it's just natural for him to support his mum since she is the one doing everything in her power to take care of him. 7 Likes 1 Share |

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. |
