“You really put your children through a lot🥺 Baba? 😢”

sethu_myataza shared:

“Can we just offer her support, guys? All this negativity will not help her recover. Let’s be the positive energy she needs 🙏❤️”

mo_gemini urged:

“Mental health is something else, look after yourselves, ladies 😭🙏🏾”

Beverleydias advised:

“Woman to woman, sometimes you need to take a step back, stop being defensive and introspect. We are human and therefore, fallible. BUT some mistakes don’t have to be repeated. Heal the wounds so you don’t keep bleeding on your babies. It’s possible to love without producing a human to prove how big the love is. The mission is to fix things with the kids you already have and not to bring more into messy situations. Your big girl is such a precious gift, and I hope you can mend your relationship properly and see your own value at some point. Sending you love, Sis ❤️”
