I sincerely seek your honest advice and guidance concerning a deeply personal and challenging situation I am currently facing.
I got married to my wonderful wife two years ago. Before our wedding, we both underwent genotype testing, although in different hospitals—mine was done in Abuja and hers in Lokoja. According to the results at that time, I was told I had the AA genotype, while hers came out as AS. Regrettably, I did not take the step to verify my result with a second test from another facility.
Early last year, we were blessed with our first child. Shortly after his birth, I secured a job in a federal agency, which required a comprehensive medical evaluation. During this process, I was tested again, and to my surprise, the genotype result came out as AS. I went to another reputable hospital to confirm, and the result remained AS.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago—our son, now a year old, began experiencing swelling in his hands and feet. Initially, we thought it was a minor injury and got him some medication from a pharmacy, but the condition worsened and spread. We had to rush him to one of the top hospitals in Abuja, where he was sadly diagnosed with sickle cell anemia (SS).
As you can imagine, this has been devastating news for me. I’m overwhelmed with emotion, regret, and confusion. I love my wife dearly, but I’m also struggling with the reality of the situation—especially knowing it could have been avoided with more careful steps.
I am reaching out to you all, not to cast blame, but to ask for your heartfelt advice: How do I move forward? Should I continue with the marriage, or should I consider separation?
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. Your opinions and suggestions will mean a lot to me during this difficult time.
Nigerian's needs to wake up, we can't be a slave in our own mother land. These leaders doesn't have the interest of the people in mind. We have to shun ethnic and religion differences and fight for our common goals.
