2) Sometimes life writes the most unexpected stories… Here’s one that will make you reflect deeply on love, truth, and the choices we make.
3) He didn’t know he had a child until years later and still questions if she’s truly his… Now the child is 27 and still doesn’t know her father. What’s your opinion?
When he was just 17, a young man met a girl, and they shared a one-night encounter. He had no idea that this single moment would leave behind consequences he could not have imagined—because the girl became pregnant without him being aware. He went on with his life unaware, moved abroad to pursue his future, and for many years, he never heard from her again. But twelve years later, his past resurfaced in an unexpected way.
One weekend, the girl appeared at his family’s compound back home and revealed to his mother that she had a child for him. Shocked by the news, his mother gave her son’s phone number to the girl, hoping she would reach out. However, the girl never contacted him directly. Instead, a year later, she messaged him on Facebook from another country where she had relocated.
During that first weekend at the family compound, his mother had asked her to return the following weekend with the child—who was already 11 years old. The mother even prepared food, waiting eagerly to meet her grandchild. But the girl never came back. By the time she finally reached out, she and her daughter had already moved abroad.
Curious but unsure, the man kept in touch with her online and asked about the child, who was then around 12. Eventually, she moved again—this time to Europe—and arranged for her daughter, then 13, to join her there.
Although uncertain if the child was truly his, the man showed signs of responsibility. He sent her $100 the first month and another $100 the second month as a gesture of goodwill and to maintain contact. He then expressed his desire to start building a relationship with the child. But the mother refused. She argued that the girl, then 14, was too young and that suddenly revealing the truth could be emotionally shocking after growing up all her life without knowing her real father.
The man respected her choice, but told her clearly: whenever she felt the child was ready, she should let him know so he could step in and build that father-daughter bond. Despite this, the girl never reached out again. Instead, when the man later tried contacting her, she told him to leave her family alone. She claimed that he had walked away years ago and had no right to suddenly show up now that the child was older.
Today, the child is 27 years old, and as far as anyone knows, she still may not know who her biological father really is.
Now here’s the dilemma: Should the man have continued to pursue communication with the mother and offered financial support even though she blocked his access to the child? Or did the mother do the right thing by keeping the truth hidden when her daughter was just 13, believing it was for her emotional protection?
What do you think—was this the story of a father who gave up too soon, or a mother who was only trying to shield her daughter from pain? Did she lie that the guy was her daughter's father?
