Nollywood actress, Adunni Ade, has recounted her struggles while raising her sons and how her family had reacted to her pregnancy news without marriage.
The actress and mother of two posted a series of pictures on her Instagram page.
She stated the disappointment her father had for her after she broke the news of her pregnancy while she was still in school with no official marriage.
According to her, she felt like a failure thereafter because she felt like she disappointed her hero, which is her father.
Adunni said her mother stood by her all though even though her father was upset about it.
She also talked about how her financial support was cut off and how she had to work three jobs to sort her life.
According to her, her second child, another boy, came four years after her first and she felt bad again thinking of the hurt she went through with the first.
She wrote, “These past few days have been overwhelming! I remember when I found out I was pregnant with D’marion, it felt like the world came caving in on me.
“A whole lot happened to me. My Dad was so hurt that his first daughter was pregnant (out of wedlock, I understood ).
“I was a senior at college. It was the worst time of my life. All financial support was cut off! I was ill. My mom did all she could to stand by me. I felt as though I had failed in life as my Hero was disappointed in me.
“I began facing so many challenges in life. My heart was so fragile I thought I’d never make it through because of how terrible my life had become.
“Fast forward 4 years later, Ayden comes along. I recall being so upset! I got to go through the hurt, the pain all over! Damn! But this time around I was more determined! More focused on being successful for my 2 Lil princes. Ayden brought a different vibe to life, to live my life unapologetically.
“When I tell you my boys are my world, I mean it with every fiber of my existence. I’m nowhere near my goals in life but I tell you something! Things have changed! I get asked a lot how I do it, I simply answer “I just do it!” I recall working 2-3 jobs just to make ends meet.
“Leave out 4:30 am back after midnight. This consistent hard work is years of labor! These 2 miracles of mine have given me a chance to live again! My drive! My focus! All I have done! All I am! All for my Boys. Thank you D’marion Thank you Ayden for giving me a reason to live again.”
