When my mom got pregnant with my biological father, he denied being responsible, and my mom moved on with her life. I started bearing my mom’s surname. My mom really suffered to raise me; she passed through h£ll to give me a good life. Later on, my mom met her current husband (my stepdad), and honestly, this man is just like a compensation to my mom. He is a great dad, and you won’t even know that I’m not his biological daughter because I’m his favorite. I graduated from uni last year, and I’m currently serving. I’ve always wanted to know my biological father, but I don’t even know how to bring up the conversation with my mom. A few weeks back, I mustered up the courage and asked her about my biological father, and she was reluctant to tell me, saying I should forget about him.
But I insisted, so she said I should give her time to reach out to him first and set a meeting. She reached out to him, and he sounded so excited to meet me, saying that he hopes I look like him. Sadly, I do look like him because I’m the odd person in our family. My siblings are all dark, and my mom is dark too, but I’m very fair. I want him to pay dearly for every pain and shame my mom felt back then. Is there a law in Nigeria that permits me to sue him because he is such an irresponsible man? I avoid men in every way possible because I don’t want history to repeat itself.
