Barbara Vhengedza From My Heart
Dear Tete
My father committed suicide a few years ago after he caught my mum with a boyfriend. I now hate my mother so much because if she had not been unfaithful he would be here. Sometimes I love her, but most days I just want her to go away.
Tete Responds:
I am sorry for your loss and to lose a loved one under such circumstances must be very painful. You need to deal with the situation and find closure in order to move on. Blaming your mum is just a way of releasing the tension that is building up inside you, but it is not a solution. Your mother probably has her own side of the story and unfortunately your father chose to take his own life. Suicide is not the way to deal with problems, but clearly it just causes more trouble than one would have foreseen. Let him rest my case, but you must live a life full of love. Find a counsellor to help you out of your dilemma.
