Step-father ends in tears over adopted kids

This is heart breaking! “I married my wife 25 years ago. She came with two boys from her previous marriage. I really loved them and adopted the kids since I I’m not medically fit to have a child of my own.

 

We stayed peacefully in rented houses. I was working back then and made sure to take my adopted kids to the best schools, their father never came to claim them or even support them.

 

The boys were very bright in school and as I write this, one is a doctor who got scholarship to finish his studies in USA.

 

He is back and already employed, the second boy is a pilot whom I used all my savings to pay for his course in South Africa, he is also back and employed too.

 

My happiness is that my boys are successful and have bought big houses, my problem is that my wife and the two boys have reunited with their dad and now living happily together as a family.

 

They seem to have abandoned me here, i can’t even pay my rent anymore, I retired long ago, i have been moving from one relative to another for a place to sleep, they don’t even pick my phone calls anymore. Please what do I do now? my life is so miserable,” man narrates.

Few people are herein giving advice to this hurting father. Mack Mackie says,  “You did your part in their lives, God is faithful he will reward kindness with kindness…You were dealing with humans we as humans sometimes forget those who helped us and bond more with those that haven’t been there for us at all; but God is so faithful and righteous.”

Kiyinji Musa says, “In life we don’t help to get back it’s only God who pays us back coz u will never know what’s inside the heart of the person u a helping, with people they forget so fast.”
