Sometimes parents are the same people that push their children into depression at a young age! Well, a few years ago Akothee’s daughter battled the same problem after he parents separated with no explanations

My parents separated when I was in class four. I could not understand why they had to break up. One day they were arguing and I locked them up in a room and told them I would not open until they reconciled. I used to see on TV that divorced parents could still work out, so I didn’t understand why mine were not making things work.

So apparently after the argument, her hot headed mum decided to park up and leave. For 2 months Akothee did not communicate with anyone back at home nor did she ask about the kids!

My mum left and never communicated at all, no one knew where she was. We did not hear from her for like two months, my dad then left us with his mother and went to look for a job,”

Of course there is no love like a mother’s love; and after leaving her children behind; they now started tasting the bitter life thanks to relatives who cared less!

According to Vesha at some point she even started feeling like an orphan thanks to the way she was being treated!

I used to feel like an orphan. I would mop the house and an uncle of mine would come with muddy shoes and dirt the house. So I had to mop again. She then sent my aunt Cebbie to come and pick us up and we joined her (mum) in Nairobi.

Blames dad for separation

In the well detailed interview, Vesha went on to reveal that after all these years; her dad has never come out clean on why he separated from their mum, Akothee.

I felt like I could not forgive him but my mum kept telling me that he was still my dad and I had to forgive him. At the time I felt like he was the problem. All this time he never explained why they were arguing in front of us. To date, he has never explained why the two divorced

But right now we are very good friends. We talk and he advises me, now that I’m grown up I understand things better.”
