In her thread, the momma noted that while her man was initially excited to have a child, he wanted nothing to do with his daughter when the baby was born.

Zamangwane explained that the gent only sees his daughter when he is forced to and doesn’t make any effort to build a relationship with her, with her first tweet reading:

“This single moms topic is actually very triggering. When we planned to have Naledi, never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be raising her alone. I’ve stopped trying to force him to see her because, at some point, I just accepted that he’s chosen to be an absent father.”

Commenting on the gorgeous lady’s post, many other single mommies shared their stories of how they were walked out on and forced to take on the role of both parents.

Let’s take a peek at Zamangwane’s tweet and some of the comments:

@bongie_noks shared how she has been left now that she is close to having her baby:

“I'm nine months pregnant. He blocked my calls and SMSes, even blocked me on all socials. We dated for a year before we decided to have a baby. I'm blocked because I asked when he plans to start buying things for the baby. I've bought everything from a hat to a car seat.”

@LendyMoloko is thinking about having a baby:

“Ready to have a kid. I had this conversation with my partner recently, and he assured me that this is what he wants too. But a part of me is still so scared that he might change his mind after I get pregnant or have the baby.”

@Yenkosi also had a bad experience with her baby daddy:

“I stopped asking him to visit or do anything, but my son was recently sick, and my medical aid didn't cover some meds, I had spent so much already on unplanned trips going back home so I could be with the child. Eventually, I had to ask him for money for meds, he blocked me.”
