A father has resorted to social media to express his frustration with his 8-year-old daughter asking about her mother, who abandoned her when she was 18 months old.
The single father, identified as @Mthoko90070958, said that the situation is quite challenging for him and that he is unsure of how to handle it because his baby mama doesn’t even consider checking on or visiting her daughter.
According to him, he has resolved not to have anything to do with his child’s mother, but she’s making it difficult for him with her repeated cries to see her mother.
“My baby momma left when our daughter was 18 months old, now she’s 8 years and lately she’s been asking me where her mom was. I really have no idea how to handle this situation coz you can see the lady doesn’t even think of asking or visiting her daughter.
I also told myself that I don’t want anything to do with her, it’s my daughter now that’s making it difficult for me. I think she needs her mom in her life or something”. He wrote on Twitter.

“Yes agreed with you until you said he should look for the mother. He is under no obligation to do so; That woman left them, so she would be the one coming back to ask for their love and forgiveness. Not him and his daughter seeking her out to grant forgiveness!!”

“As harsh as it may sound ,deep down I don’t think she wanted the baby in the first place, what mother just leaves her child and go?!!!I sympathize with u bro may God give u the wisdom and strength to have the right answers for ur daughter and continue doing a great job🙌🏼🙏🏼”.
Like seriously I don’t want to question God…but I dearly understand what his going through
..I remember when my daughter had made 3 years,I looked for her daddy but he kept hidding and I realized he had married another wife to whom didn’t know about our existence. I feel pain when my child cries to see her daddy but what can I do… All I had to accept is be a father and mother in her life.. Whatever your going through with your daughter,always remember God’s plans are greater than your disappointments. Pray to him and call for his mercy upon your daughter’s life…God will provide her with a mother who’ll never forsake her…
