Question - (27 October 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 27 October 2010)
A female Kenya age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I got married and had two kids with my husband. After five years i quit due to some misunderstandings with my husband.

I left with my two kids whom i am still taking care of all by myself.My peers and relatives advices me to fall in love again and get married since am still young but i am unable since i would love the kids to experience the love of their biological father. My husband never bothers about my nor the kids well being. All along i have been waiting to hear from him but it seems he is not interested. I fear confronting him since i fear he might not be interested at all. I would appreciate if he at least recognizes the kids even if he is not interested in me any more.

How do i approach him?

Please advice.

sammi star agony auntYou can't avoid talking to him about this situation although I think you already know what the outcome will be. If he was any kind of father he would've been asking for contact by now. I understand exactly how difficult it is and drawing on support from your family and friends will be your lifeline. Listen to the advice they're giving you. Sure, right now the last thing you need is to be falling in love again. You need to learn to be happy with yourself and realise you can stand on your own two feet before you contemplate that again but in the meantime remind yourself that you have your two children and there's nothing more important than that.
