I was raised by my grandmother after my mum left me there as a child. While my mum went on to remarry and raise four children in a much more comfortable home, I struggled through life with little support and was often sent home from school because of unpaid fees. Despite facing neglect and mistreatment from my mum and her husband, his resentment towards me was so deep that he hid my school bag and uniform on the very day I was supposed to write my WAEC exams. I wish I could type in detail what that man did to me. I worked hard to build a better life for myself. Life happened to them, and after both my mum and her husband passed away, I continued to support their children financially, even paying for the eldest to learn a skill so she could start earning too, but she chose to go to school, knowing her dad’s family would not help her. However, they now seem to expect me to take responsibility for their welfare and education, which has become overwhelming because I am still trying to establish myself financially and never received that same level of support when I needed it most. What do you advise I do?
