My eyes are wet, because my darling baby's are too She yearns for her father Even though she puts on a brave face, or two The pain of separation Of denying her the God-given right To having a full time father Is still raw.
What can I say? I didn't ask for this to happen Tell me However many couples get married With divorce clearly as their "escape" button and I will tell you How many more couples are seeking counselling To improve on their marriage
Her father decided to leave for another woman Though it was done quite subtly Starting with dis-satisfaction with home life Enhanced by posted out-station Followed by arguments about anything and everything under the sun From different forms of child-rearing To money management To the kind of clothes I wore, Until the final " I wouldn't look at you twice even if you were the last woman on earth"
He did admit to his adulterous affair(s) When I have finally managed to forgive him Only God knows what I might have done If I hadn't.
Thank you Lord, for protecting me from the gallows. He is not worth me dying for...
The divorce finalised, and we lived For a while.... happy lives With regular visiting from him Even outings as a 'family'
Then the lady in question finally raised her head And all the fairytales and hopes the children held Dashed to the ground Crushed, With an extra kick of dirt into the face, As he announced to the girls: "That kind 'jie jie' whom you met 8 years ago Is now.... my wife."
Since then and with obvious progression The weekly visits became less frequent To fortnightly, to monthly... To...seasonally... Did i mention that the last visit was in February For the birthday celebration of the younger daughter?
The maintenance he provides were... Let's just say it's less than his monthly expenses for the car He drives an Audi - less than 3 years old. Hmmm
My daughter is still crying Because he is blaming her For him being angry with her Resulting in the younger one not being able to see the father as well for the last 4 months.
Go figure.... And it all started with my daughter calling him To wish him a "Happy Father's Day"...
Indeed
For all you responsible, loving, caring, honourable fathers out there Happy Father's Day For you Michael... well what can I say? Thanks for the 2 girls you fathered & that, really Is from the bottom of my heart
