Ay ay ay I just cringed , you definetely have a lot of inner strenght to do this, so many women would have said bye bye have a safe road , what a hard task you have taken upon yourself! I really admire you because this is something I suspect I would not have been able to do, although I like to see myself as a good person.....
The mentality of the village...well, there is some truth in it. But I believe in putting the needs of the individual first . I mean you can't pour from an empty cup.
It is sad that some men are so iresponsible, spreading their seed wherever they go, without thinking about the fact that they can't be a provider. I don't know what to believe about people who act like this. You have handled very well a tricky nerve wrecking situation.
I hope that you will also take care of your own heart and soul. Because it matters.
