Hello everyone 🤗 welcome to my blog, its good to have you here.
This post is about how innocent children are hated by their stepmother. These children do not deserve to be treated with such resentment. They didn't choose to be stepchildren, but a woman can choose to be a stepmother because she knows that a man has children before she decides to marry him, or she can walk away if she isn't ready to be a stepmother.
There is this woman in my neighborhood who is constantly beating her older child. While beating him, she may break a mopping stick.I came to know her because whenever the youngster starts screaming, I walk over to their house to plead on his behalf.
This woman has two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is the elder child. I've never seen the mom yell or even raise her voice at the girl. She portrayed the daughter as the ideal child, whereas the male lacks abilities in any area. I was perplexed at first as to why there was a difference between the two children, given that there were hers.
I became close to the woman because I was pleading for the boy virtually every day. He's either been punished or sent out of the house late at night. I was concerned about this little boy, so I had to ask the mother for permission to let him stay with me anytime she wasn't home, because she usually goes out with her daughter while locking the boy out.
I noticed the youngster was starving. He performs all of the housework and yet arrives late at school.
Some days he misses school since he was unable to complete his duties.
I confronted his mother, asking why he frequently misses school and appears unkempt, and I gave her some advice because I am also a mother. I had no idea she took that as an issue and chastised the small youngster. I never saw the boy again near my house. Anytime I went knocking, she wouldn't respond.
I kept wondering why a mother would treat her child with such hostility. One day, the youngster came knocking, and when I saw him, he began crying because he did not want to attend boarding school. He stated that his stepmother wishes to send him to a boarding school, that she does not want him around, and that he would remain at the hostel throughout the holidays. When I inquired about his biological mother, he grieved and said that she died when he was six years old.
When I inquired about his father, he stated that he works in another country and only visits once a year. I was so broken that I wept for this small child. We didn't talk for long before he became concerned that his stepmother would come seeking for him because she had asked him not to approach me. He fled in fear as he heard voices outside.
I never saw the boy again after that day. After a few weeks, I went over to the boy's house and inquired about him. I was informed that he is now enrolled in boarding school. I was in so much pain that I gave her a piece of my mind. I ask her how she will feel if she passes away and someone treats her daughter the same way they treat the boy.
She began shouting and talking angrily at me. That drew the attention of neighbors and those nearby. She even intended to fight me. I told her that, as a mother, I couldn't bear the thought of another child suffering, and I didn't want to fight. Everyone stated they loved my boldness because they didn't want trouble, so everyone mind their business, but I did what no one in the community wanted to do.
As a woman going out with a single father, a divorcee, or a male polygamist, please, in as much as you profess to love the man, you should also love his children.
No child chooses to be a stepchild, but as a woman, you have the option of walking away from such a relationship or becoming a stepmother who will love her stepchildren as much as she loves her biological children.
Thanks for reading through.
