Dear readers,Today, we run the concluding part of last weeks story of a writer, whowants her mother saved from her father.Please, read and advise her.Thanks for your contributions.Monica TaiwoRead first partDear Taiwo, My brother advised that I should not tell mum because of how she would feel about it. I want to believe that I should have told her, you wont believe that she was the one who took Rashidat to the hospital for treatment and she did without collecting a dime from our neighbours. I really did not know if daddy eventually gave them money.All along, mum was building her own house, we, however, had to move in at a time the place was not really ready because of daddys behaviour. I want to believe his idleness contributed to his attitude, because if a man had no job and yet has enough to eat and drink, he was bound to have enough energy to go about chasing women. What I really did not understand is why mummy kept on condoning daddy. Now, despite the fact that she is dying slowly, she has refused to send daddy packing.Something happened that actually sent us out of where we were living which made us to move into an uncompleted building.I came home from school one afternoon. There was pandemonium in our apartment. Our landlady,someother women and Rashidats boss too were in our apartment. I never knew daddy could stoop so low to impregnate another housemaid. I thought they were discussing Rashidats issue, but when I heard what daddy did again, I was ashamed.The landlady made so much noise that she attracted even outsiders and as dad tried to deny the allegation, Rashidats boss kept referring to her maids issue and it became a serious issue. Daddy shouldnt have denied, when he knew he was guilty.Mummy was on morning duty; my fear was for her not to stumble on the mess, as daddy knew how to clean up his sordid deals before she shows up all the time. Unfortunately, she walked in and witnessed the whole mess. If I were her, I would have kept quiet, but she made the mistake of defending daddy, her defence got Rashidats boss so angry that she gave mummy every detail of what happened to her maid and the fact that daddy was responsible for the pregnancy.She refused to believe until I told her it was true; I did this because I wanted her to stop talking and allow these people to leave our house.When they had all left, mummy wanted all the details; I told her and my brother confirmed my story when he returned from school.I really did not know how this issue was settled, but we had to move out of the area to our uncompleted building.We were there when my mother completed the house and made it habitable. Daddy eventually, decided to go to the school of evangelism; he said he wanted to go into the Lords vineyard. We all believed that this decision would make daddy a better person. This, however, did not help because he was asked to leave the school as a result of another sex scandal, can you imagine thisAs if this was not enough, recently daddy was accused of impregnating two female teenage members in our church. One of them is not even as old as I am. Can you imagine this What can one make out of this If he wasnt my father, I would say this was made up, but this is a man who is supposed to be my father. Dont you think he has a fundamental problemMy grouse, however is, why has mummy continued to keep up with him This last one is really killing her; she stopped going to church. She has really changed, and also hardly speaks with any of us.Couldnt she ask daddy to leave Why does she continue to keep up with him at the expense of her happiness I am yet to find answers to these questions.Another thing I dont understand is what daddys problem really is Mummy tries her best to give him whatever he needs despite the role reversal, the poor woman is killing herself to train us, and see how she is being repaid.Please, how can I help my mother I dont want to lose her prematurely, please, help.Anonymous
