STAND ALONE NARRATIVE

WICKED MOTHER

Good day Stella.

Stella my mum is a very wicked and shameless woman. If I want to start talking about the things she has done I won't finish.


She's a big gossip everyone in the neighborhood knows her. Sometimes they call my cousins living with us and tell them about my mother and the things she talks about people. She can sit with Mrs A and talk about Mrs B, then turn around and tell mrs B what Mrs A said. And she won't say it the way it was said oo. She'll add salt and pepper just to cause trouble.

 And these women are young enough to be her daughters oo. Now everyone has known her to be like that and there are distancing themselves from her. These things she talks about are very terrible things. Things one shouldn't be talking about someone else.


Then is it her borrowing. That one is a different story. Anywhere she hears that there are giving loans, she will locate the place and ask for the loan. She borrows from all and sundry and she doesn't pay back. People use to come to a provision shop my dad opened as a side business to collect things as payment for the money she owes them. It was like that till that business died down. She collect clothes on credit but doesn't pay back.

 She even had to go and borrow money from my sisters ex boyfriend. The guy started using it against my sister till my sister had to end the relationship. Then the lies she tells to borrow money. She Lies that my dad is irresponsible, doesn't pay fees, beats her and collect all her money. All these are very big lies. Since I started school this woman has never bought exercise book for me. Even when my dad gives her money for fees she uses it to buy clothes and do whatever she does with her money. My dad has settled her debts of hundreds of thousands countless times just to avoid embarrassments. I almost didn't write wassce because she used my wassce fee and lied to us that she has paid.


I won't lie to you- I hate my mother. She doesn't care about her children, she doesn't think about how her actions will affect her family and even her husband. She complains about everything my dad does and sometimes try to turn us, the children against him. But it doesn't work cos we know better. She's a very selfish and wicked person. She never has good advice to give to anybody.


Stella, my dad has gone broke. We are suffering financially now. He can't go to work anymore because of no money to buy fuel and no money to even pay transport fare. No savings, nothing. Every business he tried to venture into in the past, my mum used debts and wasteful to bring it down. 

Sometimes she goes to the sales person and collects money and then tell them not to tell my dad. Millions of naira wasted. Lately she introduced my dad to loans. Thank God he built a house otherwise maybe Na for street we for the live or back to our village because I know he can't afford rent. Now almost half of his salary goes to payment of these loans. So we are forced to feed from hand to mouth. Nothing is working well for us. Every government appointment that should be given to my dad gets cancelled at the last minute for no reason. Or he gets replaced with someone else.

 If you see our house you won't believe it. Blinds are torn and discoloured, the chairs are close to 10years old(no kidding), we still use wooden centre table, we have never had flat screen TV before. Not because my dad doesn't want to buy but because there's hardly any money left after settling bills, paying fees and of course settling her debts.

We have all tried talking to her about it severally but she said its not her fault that it's her stepmother that is doing her. Mtcheeeew


And did I mention that she has no housekeeping skills at all. She can peel fruits and keep in the payout in morning and leave there till night if there's nobody to clean up. If you enter her room ehn, their toilet nko. If my dad tries to tell her to try to be cleaning up their toilet and bathroom it becomes World War 3.

Like I said if I want to talk we will sleep here. Sometimes I try to think of good things about her. But I can't because the bad too plenty. It's tiring sometimes I just sit and cry. My dad is a ghost of who he used to be. I just pray he doesnt develop hypertension.


Please I need your advice. Maybe there's something that can be done. I've prayed, fasted, shouted, everything I can think of. My dad even threatened to divorce her once but it didn't help because it just made her cover up her borrowing tracks more carefully. Please bvs I need your advice. Thank you.

*This one pass me!!...WHAT!!!

oh my goodness!!!
