You were going through something.
Someone tried to cheer you up by telling you an experience of he's that is similar or less terrible than yours so you'll know that you can survive the situation.
He risked telling you something that was supposed to be a secret to him.
You now use the secret to gossip.
You are a sick person!
My father married a single mom with a 7 year old son. At first , everything was moving fine. Then my dad had, me and my younger sister. He discovered that my mom loved my half brother more. We grew up together. Dad built a house and bought a car. He was doing well for himself. He set up a business for mom where she sold alcohol on wholesale. Most fights my parents had were because of him. Dad sponsored our education. After some time, his health began to fail him. My dad called his kinsmen and told them never to allow his step son to see his corpse when he takes his last breath. Dad passed on and mom and my half brother became a thorn in my flesh. He fought me and cut my stomach open with a knife. It was multiple stabs with deep cuts Neighbours rushed me to the hospital while he escaped. My mom claimed she didn't know his whereabouts. I was taken into the theater for surgery. I spent a few weeks at the hospital before I was discharged. The Doctor warned me sternly not to exceed a certain quantity of meals for the rest of my life no matter how hungry I am. Dad joined his ancestors and his kinsmen never allowed his step son to see his corpse. Mom began another battle. She claimed to have contributed to the house Dad built. That my half brother must keep the documents and have the building as his first son ( adopted). I took the documents to a family friend because Dad handed them over to me before he died. It was kept there safely for several months. Mom chose to leave her marriage. I got married and had three lovely children (two boys and a girl). Mom never saw my wife and children as part of her. After a little unrest in the state, I sold the house, relocated with my family to my hometown. I got another building and started a small transport business. My three children are graduates and trying to be on their own. My story should serve as a lesson to any man marrying a single mother with a son. If you choose to adopt him as yours, do well to spell out things. Women hardly forget their first offspring from another man even when they are legally married to another man. - ANONYMOUS.
