Dear WISY:
I come from a very happy family. My siblings and I enjoyed a very nice upbringing. My fondest memories are of us climbing fruit trees and laying in the yard filling our bellies with mangoes, guavas, sugar cane and lots more! It was awesome and I always said I would raise my child in the same fashion.
Unfortunately, my mother died a few years ago and we were all grief stricken (still are). My father recently remarried and his new wife has since transferred all of his assets into her name and has ordered that my siblings and I not return home after college. I am in my last year and I am pleading with my father to allow me to come back home until I am able to support myself but he is under the spell of this evil witch and he refuses to allow it.
I am so enraged by my father’s stupidity and this woman’s selfishness. How could he allow her to take full control this way? My mother would have never done this to us. Where are we supposed to go until we can find jobs to support ourselves?
Do you have any suggestions? Please help.
Signed,
Nowhere to Go
Dear NTG:
ReplyDeleteI’m very sorry to hear about your mother. In regards to your father, sometimes our loved ones make decisions that we do not agree with and our desire is to have them share the same vision as us. However, it doesn’t work this way and every man is free to make the decisions he wants. We have to let go and allow them to make their own mistakes and learn from their actions. It’s hard to watch a loved one take an alternative path but there is absolutely nothing we can do about it once their mind is made up.
As far as your living situation is concerned, I advise you to begin making moves to ensure your transition from student to working adult. If you are trying to fight the abrupt decision your father and step-mother has made, seek legal counsel and prepare yourself for a battle that may seem never ending.
Best of luck!
Walk Good,

Darlin', seek out other relatives that can help or you and your siblings consider getting together and support each other. Its not an easy road, but you can make it once you are determined. Possibly, you, your siblings, and some close relatives can stage an intervention for your father. It sounds as though she is bleeding him dry.
