Dear MIMsters: I Feel Like Disappearing From My Family.

I feel like disappearing from my family and here’s why.

My younger sister got married at 21, despite the advice we gave and told her to hold on first and finish her education.

My parents are jobless and idle and we the children have been struggling on our own.

My immediate younger sister and I have been the ones financially supporting our younger sister until she decided to go and get married.

Now the issue is, one month after she got married, she ran back home saying that she doesn’t want the marriage anymore and she was already pregnant. I am now left with the responsibility of fending for the family.

I told her to go back. She did. Several months after putting to birth, she came back again with her child and this time has refused to go back. She said that her marriage is a mistake.

Now everyone is depending on me for support while I have just finished my service and yet to get a job. The small business I’m doing can only cater for our feeding.

I feel like I’m not living anymore. My mom doesn’t make things any easier as she sees it as my responsibility to take care of everyone. I have my own responsibility. I’ve a child.

  • No my dear this will not be wickedness. It is called doing the right thing. If u continue to forget urself and sacrifice fir them who will sacrifice for your daughter. All of them are being selfish including ur mum. Any day uour siblings make it bigger than you they might forget all u did evrn if you are strugling with ur daughter. I suggest if u have 100 naira give them. 30 keep the rest for yourself amd daughter. Both of u will need it. You will know the true colour of your siblings any day you do not have and they in a better position. Trlling u from 3xperience.

  • That’s not wickedness at all, you need to get a life and be by yourself. They will keep dragging you down and you have a child to raise.

  • It’s not wickedness. You need to get a life for you and your daughter please. This entitlement mentality we Nigerians have is sickening. Please rent a place of your own and do not let them know where and do it fast before they drain you completely.
