Single mom finds love

"My daughter is 5 years old. I had her at the age of 23; the father denied the pregnancy and travelled abroad, so my parents took responsibility and I gave birth. Since then, I've been taking care of her without any help or support from her father or his family," the woman disclosed.

She said that the man she's currently in a relationship with loves her, and she loves him, but he wants nothing to do with her child.

"He doesn't even allow my daughter to come close to him, let alone play with her, he asked me never to come around his place with my child. I've asked why, but he said he loves me so much, and my daughter's presence irritates him because it reminds him that I've been with another man before him."

Although she doesn't want to return her daughter to her father, she feels she has no choice because she can't afford to lose her boyfriend.

"Ever since I met this guy, my life has changed. He's rich and very successful, and he even promised to marry me. I love him so much. I'm 28 already, and I fear I might not find another man who will love me or, better still, marry me knowing that I have a child with another man. I mean, I also deserve a beautiful love life," she explained.

The confused woman, seeking advice online, also added that her child's father was married and had reservations about how her daughter would be treated while living with him.
