o nkopele dikgakololo
I am a mother of a seven year old boy.
Ke na le problem le my baby dad. He is 44 and self employed...I am holding a permanent job mo go goromente.
Our relationship is more than 15 years old. When I met him, he told ka ha a godileng ka teng, o godisitswe ke his mother and stepfather. But nako e ntsi a nna le nkukuagwe, mother to the stepfather. A re go ne go se bonolo gothelele, he was struggling even to get school uniform. According to him, gongwe mo botshelong o ka bo a le something better hanne e se kgodiso ya gagwe.
Fortunately todai the business he does enables him go itirela anything se a se batang.
Here is the problem, my baby dad has siblings (bo monnawe) who are not working. Ga a close le bone, he can stay for months a sa bue le bone. Ke kile ka leka go bua le ene ka se. He poured all his frustrations mo go nna, a bua gre bana bale ba mo imetse, he feels gre nako ya gre a lebe botshelo ba gagwe e gorogile. O ile a lela nako ya teng. His mother is not working, le ene ke na le feeling ya gre o kgakala le ene coz he can stay for months a sa mo romele madi a dijo bogolo,and when I try to remind him le gone ga go nne sente. He ends up crying, a di bua tsothe.
There is a lot ladies, gone jaana re a gola. Recently rraagwe ngwanake o simolotse go nwa over,even during weekdays ha gongwe ke re o ile tirong,spending madi a business recklessly (he had intentions tsa go nyala and bought some of dilwana tsa pato). But I still have a feeling ya gre o na le tiro e ntsi jwa go mmaagwe, ga a na setsha gape, but not in good terms le bo kgaitsadie gape.
So everytym I try to talk to him about spending money recklessly, o bua gre ene kana nako e nngwe o ikutwa a imetswe, ke nna yo ke itseng mathata a gagwe,and he expects me to support him instead of 'go mo omanya'
This thing se simolotse go nkimela, ke bona okare jaanong mathata a a goletseng mo go one jaanong e nna ame. No matter how much I try to be soft, a re ga ke mi akanyetse...o dule kwa g*e a ngaletse mmaagwe le bokgaitsadie bothe ka Jan. Up to now ga a ise a ba thole.
I've advised him to seek counseling, a re ene o siame, go setse nna go mo accepta...but I honestly can't accept him as he is...I feel he is broken and not fit for a relationship. O kgona go nna malatsinyana a re o a ipaakanya, then jiki jiki, he is back to square 1. Even our son is starting to get affected somehow. What shud I do ladies? Kindly advise.
