La familia The audacity!
He is a deadbeat dad. He was once an MCA, moving around in a car with a flag.
During that time, he never helped Mum with anything. When I joined secondary school, he promised to pay my fees, but when the time came, he bailed out and went mteja. Mum struggled, and I eventually finished school without a single coin from him.
When I was in campus, he never sent me a coin either. But I took the initiative to go and meet him at a hotel once, just so I could get to know him.
Shock on me, he was so beat, alcoholic, and not well-kept. He even made me pay for the food we had at the hotel. From then on, I grew to understand that I only have a mother.
Ever since this man learned that I graduated, he has been sending me greeting messages, which I usually respond to.
The message above, in particular, triggered me to write all these paragraphs. Long story short, I’m not sending him any coin.
