7years into our marriage, my mother-in-law called one morning asking my husband to rush down to the village. He went only to find out that a woman came with a 13 years old boy claiming he is the father. My husband confess to having an affair with the said lady before he met me and itSince then, my husband has been responsible for his son. Two years after the boy moved in with us, my husband change ownership of two of his properties to his son. I didn't complain or argue about it. Same year, he bought another property in his son's name and not a single one for my daughters.
I knew exactly what my husband was doing and when I tried talking to him about it, we had the biggest fight since we got married. He involved his mother and she told me to my face that the boy is the only child entitled to his father's properties.
I started investing in my daughters future, bought some plots of land in their names and saving for their University education. I work and earn well and I also have a business that's not doing bad.
The truth is that, I became a little selfish as I stopped providing a lot of things in the house because I can't be helping my husband reduce his expenses while he saves the money to acquire properties in his son's name leaving my daughters behind.
Now, my husband is financially down, we spent a fortune on his health and he's not stable enough to start working. I am the only providing for the family, I am not complaining. My step son is in a private University, his school fee 2.5m and my daughters school fee is 1.5m. Since the arrival of my step son in our home, we started sharing the children's school fees. Although, at some point, I stopped sharing my step son's fee with my hubby because of his nonchalant attitude towards my girls.
Things are a little different now, I can't afford to pay a million plus comfortably because of my husband's health. I managed to raise funds and pay my girls fee while still struggling to come up with school fees.
