The Mistake of Yesteryears 1

“It’s their mistake not mine. They made it but they made me out of it, now I am an object of ridicule, forced to take a fake identity, my life is worth nothing. I am still paying, paying dearly for their mistakes”.

This was an agony of a soul born out of incest committed by his own brother and mother. Don’t be confused. His family was a big extended polygamy setting. When his mother married to the family, her husband already had children of her own age and older. The husband was influential and has always had flit of concubines. No time to devote his attention on the young woman for a long time. She became lonely and sort friendship in one of the husband’s children of her own age. They became close and inseparable, one thing led to the other, they slept together and she conceived!!!

A child was born, fake identity given, fake father provided. Mother learnt out to handle or cope with her guilt,went back to her husband she once fled from and had another child for him. The poor soul after discovering the truth 40 yrs later was shattered. To think that his father was his sibling’s father? To think that he’s being lied to for so long a time, to think that he is a product of some people terrible, fatal mistake. His life is ruined, he cried.(To be continued)
