The Diary of Mary the Single mother, in the hands of her Uncle John

               Mary the single mother had a very terrible uncle who did all in his means to make life miserable for her. He did a lot of unreasonable and foolish things to her.
                           It all started for Mary when she got a baby. She did all in her power to take good care of the little baby with the little resources her parents provided her with. On the other hand her Uncle John would perform a lot of silly and petty stunts.
                           There was a time when he would put a piece of cloth in the toilet just so that she is unable to make use of it. He would also go as far as leaving his own toilet just to use Mary's toilet and he would not flush it after use. He always put on something in wooden form that had a very pungent smell which would affect both the baby and Mary. He would rant about many and different things just to get her sad. He would say things like Mary's life is a disaster thanks to her baby. He would even keep ranting that her baby is a bastard. Take note of the fact that this is Mary's immediate Uncle. Nigerian movies are not just movies things we watch happen to people.
This Uncle of hers has gone as far as threatening her with rape and destroying her life. As I said most of these things are not hearsay they are happening.
                         Mary lives in a big apartment which is said to be a family house in which the Uncle is said to be living in also. Every morning he would sing her a song
       "Mary my friend they sent you to school and you brought disgrace and shame. Mary my friend they sent you to school and you brought a bastard. He just did all these to mock her.
                          This story of Mary is a touching one . But what kept Mary moving on and keeping on is that little baby she cherished. She believed and had faith each passing day that her Uncle was moving her to a brighter life and that one day she would be a huge success. There is nothing so painful as having someone mock you and insult you especially in a case where the person is actually blood. Uncle John keeps disturbing Mary that she should go look for the father of her child and that there is nowhere to find him because the baby has no father.
                More editions of different stories of single mothers will be posted often.
Thank you T.F.A readers

  1. Poor Mary...sad!!! Having a baby shouldn't bring sadness. It's a joyful thing.
