“You will have denial, anger, crazy, negotiation and acceptance and go back and forth until the process finishes” she earlier on disclosed.

Mental help

The TV host was fortunately able to contain her mental health by seeking psychiatric help which is bearing good fruits.

Speaking of anti-depressant pills, Maureen shared:

When you are really sad, it brings you to normal. The other one helps me sleep and it wears off.

A woman who wears many hats, having two boys on one hand and sourcing for a living on the other, the balance at times topples off.

I never rest being a single mum of two boys and I work really hard and barely get time for myself and I need structure. Whenever I am free, I feel guilty and I need to learn how to slow down.

But now seeing light at the end of the tunnel, the social media influencer expresses deep gratitude to her psychiatrist.

I was in such a bad state and Dr Njuguna (the psychiatrist) wanted to admit me but I told him I have kids to take care of. He saved my life.

Kenyan social media influencer, Maureen Waititu has opened up on having fought for her relationship, tooth and nail until she could do it no more.

During her interview with Grace Msalame, the mother of two admitted that at first, her love bubble with Frankie, was the best gift she had at that time.

However, with time, came duties and responsibilities, among them parenthood, which none of them had experienced previously.

When we became parents, things changed – Maureen Waititu explains

Struggles

Juggling parenthood with career life proved too tough a battle to win, eventually escalating into a pool of problems.

But of course, he was a very nice guy, charming. He did the most with the dinners and all that then we became parents and of course, things are different. You know challenges are there. We were both so new to parenthood and here I am trying to build my career in Law. He is also building his career and problems started coming in slowly by slowly. But I felt like instead of getting better, it got worse until whatever happened, happened eventually.

Well, for the YouTuber, everything happened for a reason and does not regret having shared those moments she did, with the popular gym instructor, Frankie.

It´s always a difficult question because I look back and I´m like, it doesn´t make any sense, but in a way, I attracted him into my life because he was what I needed at that point in my life. And that´s the importance of dealing with cycles and dealing with whatever is going on within you because whatever is within you, is what goes on on the outside.

Faith

Narrating the order of events at the time, Maureen explained how she gave God a timeline, after which, she would lose hope.

 I gave him a timeline and I told him ´God, if by this time, you don´t hit me with a big nil sign or a train to tell me what direction to go, I don´t know what I´ll do.´ And he´s so gracious. You know when they say women leave a situation in bits, first a suitcase at the door. We fight till the very end.

Closing off, Maureen realized that it was no longer about her and her preferences, but the kids and her future.

And I fought Grace. I contemplated, I moved back and forth. I did everything I could. Eventually I figured it´s not about me anymore. It´s about my kids, my future.
